  • In the 1960s, the Vierdag company (but more likely: the company Gebr. Vermeulen, Weert) installed a small positive with one manual and attached pedal in the Vredeskerk (Our Lady Queen of Peace) in the Amsterdam Pijp. In 1972 the Witte organ from the demolished Reformed Koepelkerk was bought for this church. The positive was subsequently sold to the municipality of Amsterdam and was placed in the chapel 'Pro Rege'. In 1983 the Strubbe company placed the instrument in the church center 'De Drie Stromen' in Amsterdam-Gaasperdam. The organ was inaugurated on August 22, 1983. The Elbertse company carried out a restoration in 1990. After the Augustana Church closed in 2015, the organ from this church was transferred to De Drie Stromen.
  • In 2016 the organ was renovated by the Van der Putten company and transferred to the Hervormde Kapel (Reformed Chapel) in Tjuchem. According to the reports, it is an organ from the Vermeulen company from Weert, and not from Vierdag. The organ is also said to have been transferred directly from De Drie Stromen. The organ is on loan, so it is not owned by the chapel community.
