The organ in the church of Moustier has a remarkable history. In 1824 an organ was bought for this church from the Église Saint-Pierre in Lessines. It is possible that some registers from this organ are still present in the current instrument. The current organ was constructed in 1899 by Edouard and Théophile Delmotte. There is a three-manual console, but there are no stops on the Echo. There are six register drawers for this work. Four register drawers are not in function on the Grand Orgue and Positif. The pedal is attached. Much of the interior comes from the old organ of the church of Tongre-Notre-Dame. Pierre Schyven built a new organ here in 1899. The old instrument was probably originally built in 1751 for the Soeurs Pénitentes in Mons, and was placed in Tongre-Notre-Dame in 1784.
