- In 1930 bouwde de firma Blaisse & Strunk een theaterorgel voor de Asta-bioscoop in Den Haag. Bij de bouw werd pijpwerk gebruikt van het voormalige Oskalyd-orgel uit 1923. Na een modernisering van de bioscoop was er geen plaats meer voor het orgel. Rond 1960 werd het gedemonteerd en opgeslagen. Mede dankzij de inspanningen van de Nederlandse Orgel Federatie (NOF) kon het instrument ruim twintig jaar later in het Scheveningse Circus-theater een plaats krijgen.
- Toen dit theater echter werd verkocht aan Joop van der Ende, die er een musical-theater van ging maken, moest het orgel weer verdwijnen. In 1994 startte de opbouw in De Meenthe in Steenwijk, voornamelijk door vrijwilligers van de NOF. Kaat & Tijhuis verzorgden de intonatie, waarna het op 15 september 2001 in gebruik is genomen met een bespeling door Simon Gledhill.
- Het orgel heeft thans 94 registers, maar het bestaat in feite uit 29 stemmen, die zijn geplaatst in drie divisies.
