  • The organ of the former Hervormde Kerk in Wijdenes was an instrument from around 1890. The builder is unknown, but probably Van der Molen from Steenwijk, according to inscriptions inside the organ. The windchest of the second manual was an old windchest of a cabinet organ. Three stops were installed later. On the second manual, one slide was spare.
  • After closure of the church in 1974-1975, the organ has been dismantled and sold in parts. The church has been sold and is in use as a mansion today.
