  • In 1995, Jürg Brunner, organist of the Reformierte Sankt Mangen-Kirche in St. Gallen, bought an Italian positive, which was built in 1891 by Luigi d'Orsi. It originates from the south of Italy. The organ was overhauled by Armin Hauser, and in 1998 by Orgelbau Späth and Jürg Brunner himself. It was then placed on loan in the choir of the Sankt Mangen-Kirche.
  • Jürg Brunner was appointed organist of the Reformierte Heiliggeistkirche in Bern in 2004. The organ was transferred to this church and was given a place in the organ gallery. In 2012 it was moved to the Franzözische Kirche in Bern. The wind supply has been overhauled by Thomas Wälti.
