ca. 1990 fa. S. de Wit  restoration

  • A Gereformeerde Kerk was opened on the Carnissesingel in Rotterdam-Charlois in 1931. This church, which was named Pniëlkerk, had an organ from the company Valckx & Van Kouteren. This organ was put into use on November 26, 1931. The organist of the Town Hall, Mr Van Doorn, gave a concert on this occasion.
  • In 1974 the church building was decommissioned and sold to the Church of the Nazarene. The organ is still present in the building. It was later, around 1990, restored by the De Wit company and converted to electro-pneumatics. The console is placed downstairs on the church floor.
