In 1753 Johann Michael Bihler built an organ for the church in Arlesheim. It was transferred to the Église Saint-Marcel in Delémont in 1766 by Johann Baptist Hug. Theodore Kuhn built a new organ in Bihler's cases in 1909. It was a two-manual organ with pneumatic cone chests. It was dedicated in October 1909. This organ was replaced in 1984 by a new mechanical organ, built by the Manufacture Chézard Saint-Martin. Four ranks have been taken over from the Kuhn organ.
