The organ contains older material: Organ case and pipes from 1905 by Friedrich Goll Orgelbau AG
The organ in the Reformierte Kirche in Gränichen was built in 1963 by the Manufacture des Grandes Orgues Genève. During construction, the case of the previous organ, which was built in 1905 by Friedrich Goll, was taken over. An organ case from a Rückpositiv from the eighteenth century was also used. This is a remnant of the organ from before 1905. This instrument was placed in the church in 1783 by Johann Melchior Grob, but was probably older. It is said to have been built in the first quarter of the eighteenth century. When the Goll organ was built, the positive case was hung empty on the balustrade. In 1931 it was removed and stored.
