  • The choir organ in the church of Farmsum was built in 1878 for the former village church of Weiwerd. The wind chest and three stops (Octave 4', Flute 4' discant and Octave 2') are older and possibly from an old residence organ. The church in Weiwerd was built in 1877. After damage as a result of the war, the instrument was repaired by Holtman & Leemhuis in 1947. They replaced the prospect pipes with zinc ones. In 1982 it was relocated to Farmsum by mr. A. Ellens and his son, because the church in Weiwerd was demolished for expansion of the industrial area of Delfzijl.
  • The organ has no pedal board. The organ bench was made by Van Oeckelen for the Lohman organ in the church of Farmsum.
