- In 1948 the company Verschueren installed a new organ in the chapel of the Sint Laurentius hospital in Roermond. It was put into service with a recital by Hub. Houët, who also was the consultant. The Matthias parish in Posterholt bought the organ in 1977. This church was built according to a design by Frits Peutz. The building was consecrated on December 16, 1951, and the tower was built around 1960. A small organ by Vermeulen was in use in this church since 1952. The organ has been transferred by Verschueren. It was dedicated in January 1978. In 2010 the organ, which was in bad condition, was demolished except for the prospect. An electronic organ is in use since.
- The console has been restored and was transferred to the parish church of Gabersdorf in Steiermark, Austria. The console is supported in this church by Hauptwerk software with a sampleset of the organ from Velesovo in Slovenia.
