  • The organ of the Gereformeerde Kerk in Barendrecht was built for the (old) roman catholic church of Sint Antonius Abt in Scheveningen in 1912. After the demolition of the old church, the firm Dekker of Goes transfered the organ to Barendrecht. Dekker installedthe old organ from Barendrecht in 1925 in Marken.
  • Valckx & Van Kouteren revised the instrument in 1948, and modified it. At the Hoofdwerk the Flute Harmonique 8' was changed to a Quint. At the Zwelwerk the Vox Celeste 8' and the Gemshoorn 8' were replaced by a Nasard 2 2/3' and a Terts 1 3/5'.
  • The organ was overhauled by Pels & Van Leeuwen in 2007/2008, supported by volunteers from the congregation. At Easter, March 23, 2008, the organ was put back into use.
