  • In 1980 the Vrijgemaakt Gereformeerde Kerk in Zuidbroek bought an organ from the Christengemeinschaft in Bremen, made by Otto Dutkowski in 1963. The instrument was transferred by volunteers led by the organist of the church, Engel Knapper. After the death of Knapper, the organ maker G.J. Hulst completed the work. Originally the organ had an Bovenwerk, but due to a lack of space this was changed to a Rugwerk. The register pullers of the Rugwerk are located in the back wall of the Rugwerk case. The Terts can only be used together with the Quint.
  • In 1997 the organ was transferred to a new church building by Mr. C. Mulder from Sappemeer. The old building has been demolished. The Mense Ruiter company carried out repair work in 2015, in particular to the Rugwerk and the mechanics. The organ has also been revoiced. Eventually the organ was replaced and has been demolished in 2021. The pipework was sold to Poland.
