- The Emmauskerk in Amersfoort was built in 1929 as Emmakerk. In 1929 De Koff installed a small new organ in the building. This organ was in poor condition for years, when it was demolished in 1972 and replaced by an electronic instrument. In 1981 people bought a second hand English organ via Gerard Verloop, built in 1874 by Henry Willis for Saint Michaels Church in Blackburn. It was restored and transferred by Bishop & Son. The original condition of the instrument has been almost completely restored. Consultants were Willem Hülsmann on behalf of the GOV and Hans Kriek. The painted prospect pipes have been restored by Henk van der Luyt from Aalten. It was inaugurated in Amersfoort on March 23, 1985. It was presented by Hans Kriek, followed by a short evening service with Willem Hülsmann on the organ.
- In 2019 the firm Elbertse carried out maintenance works. The action was revised and repaired.
