  • The organ of the Thaborkerk in The Hague was built for the Julianakerk in Haarlem (Schoten). The purchase of the organ was possible thanks to a legacy from Ms. A.A.A.C. Koenen. It was built by the De Koff company and was put into use on Sunday, May 12, 1918. The organ was overhauled by De Koff in 1937.
  • The organ was offered for sale in 1981. In 1982, Hendriksen & Reitsma placed it in the Thaborkerk in The Hague (Scheveningen). Here it was put into use on December 18, 1982. Hendriksen & Reitsma expanded the instrument with several ranks. The Pels organ from 1959 that stood in the Thabor Church has been sold to the Christelijke Gereformeerde Kerk (Christian Reformed Church) in Nieuwpoort.
