- Around 1740, an organ was built for the Sint Matthias Church in Alkmaar, a Roman Catholic hidden church on the Sint Jacobsstraat. The maker is unknown. After the consecration of the new Sint Laurentius Church in 1862, the hidden church was closed. The organ was transferred to the Reformed Church in Heiloo by Lodewijk Ypma in 1862-1863. According to some sources, this organ would originally have had two manuals, but that seems to be incorrect.
- In 1926 the organ was restored and expanded with a Bourdon 16' and a Voix Céleste 8'. It was then put back into use on April 4, 1926, Easter Sunday, with a concert by Mr W.H. Slinger from Alkmaar together with Miss Teunissen. It is not stated who carried out the work, but it may have been Hendrik Wicher Flentrop.
- Hendrik Wicher Flentrop built a new pneumatic organ behind the old front in 1936. Only the old prospect pipes remained, the rest of the pipework has been made new. The Bourdon 16' and the Voix Céleste from 1926 have probably been reinstalled.
- In 1966, D.A. Flentrop carried out a restoration of the organ case, and a new mechanical interior was also installed, in style matching the construction period of the case. It has eleven stops on the manual and attached pedal.
