Built by: Petrus-Johannes Vereecken (1869)


In 1868-1869, Petrus Vereecken built a new organ for the Sint Martinuskerk in Moorsel near Aalst. The instrument had two manuals and an attached pedal. It was completed by the end of April 1869. According to the original installation report, there would be a Cornet (5 ranks) and Fourniture (3 ranks) on the Great Organ, and no Violine 4'. Whether this was later altered is not known. It is clear, however, that the organ was expanded at the beginning of the twentieth century with an independent pedal with two registers on a pneumatic chest, which is placed behind the organ.
