  • Pierre Schyven built a new organ for the church of Calonne in 1890. The organ case is much older. It was originally built by Toussaint Lenglet in 1650 for the Église Saint-Piat in Tournai. The organ of this church was bought in 1846 for the parish of Calonne and was transferred by Ernest Henneton. The organ makers Carlier Père & Fils from Douai restored the instrument. When it was inaugurated in Calonne on 20 June 1846, the organ was played by Lepez Hubert, organist of the Église Saint-Piat in Tournai. The old organ was completely replaced in 1890. Schyven's organ is installed behind the facade but the old prospect pipes are no longer connected. In 1901 the organ was probably moved within the church to a new gallery.
  • The old organ was placed in Tournai in 1650 by Toussaint Lenglet. Maintenance was carried out by Grégoire Van Hagen and Pierre Frémat at the end of the seventeenth century. Carlier carried out a restoration in 1780. A new organ was built for the church by François-Joseph Carlier in 1846.
