- In 1925, J. de Koff built a pipe organ for the Hervormde Bethlehemkerk in Amsterdam-Noord. It had fourteen stops on two manuals and an independent pedal. The prospect was designed by the architect of the church. The pipes are all standing in a swell box, except for the prospect pipes.
- The organ was overhauled by the same builder in 1952 and enlarged tot seventeen stops. They replaced the Voix Celeste of the second manual by a Holpijp.
- In 2004, the church was closed. The building could be sold to an Evangelical Church called 'De Bazuin'. They used it for a number of years, but the organ was no longer in use. In 2015 the church was sold again and rebuilt to a sound studio. From the organ, only the facade was preserved, the interior was demolished.
