  • In the years 1876/1877 the company Bevington & Sons built a residence organ for Mr. J.E. Horlon in Shipnal, Shropshire, United Kingdom. It has changed hands several times over the years. Mr. T. Boersma from Irnsum bought it from the last English owner in Dover. It then became the property of Mr. R. Jiskoot in Deil.
  • In 1982, the organ was placed as a choir organ in the Sint Martinuskerk in Hillegom by the firm De Wit. The Slooff company restored the instrument in 1990 and installed a swell box. It was put back into service on 11 November 1990.
  • The lowest octave of the Claribel Flute is a Stopped Diapason.
