The De Koff company built a new organ in 1969 for the Hervormde Kerk (Reformed Church) in Hoogkarspel. When this church building was completed, however, the organ turned out to be too large, so that it could not be erected in the church hall. Hereafter it was purchased on advice of Maarten Vente for the Gereformeerde Ontmoetingskerk, Bospolderstraat 10 in Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel. The disposition has been expanded with a Subbas 16' on the pedal. In 1983, Piet Huijser extended the organ with a second manual (Borstwerk).
In 2018 the church was closed and the building sold. The organ was transferred to the Nieuwe Kerk in the same town. The organ was transferred in 2018-2019 by Reil Orgelbouw. The inauguration was planned for March 2020, but could not be organized until January 31, 2023 due to the corona epidemic. Consultant Bert den Hertog played the organ on this occasion.
