- The small Maarschalkerweerd organ of the Gerardus Majellakerk in Amsterdam-East has been built around 1890. It was originally located in the parish church of Maurik. The company Gebr. Vermeulen installed the instrument around 1965 in the Heilige Geestkerk (Church of the Holy Spirit) in Uden. This parish used a sports hall for their services. After this parish merged with the Pius-X-parish around 1990, the church was closed and the organ was sold to Adema-Schreurs.
- They restored the organ and installed it in a new parish church in Amsterdam East in a new organ case, manufactured by Kneppers. This church, dedicated to Gerardus Majella, was built to replace the former Gerardus Majella Church on the Ambonplein from 1926, that was too large. The organ was dedicated on December 19, 1993, with a concert by Albert de Klerk, together with his daughter Brigit de Klerk, playing the recorder.
