  • In 1968, Verschueren placed a two-manual unit organ of the "Unicum" type in the Heilige Geestkerk, dating from 1964-1965, on the Rivierenplein in 's-Hertogenbosch. The existingranks are: Bourdon 16'-8'-4'-2', Principal 8'-4'-2', Gemshoorn 4'-2', Fifth 2 2/3'-1 1/3' and Third 1 3/ 5' (from c'). The console of the organ is on the left side. The church building was closed in 1994 and demolished a year later. After that, a new church hall was set up on Waalstraat with an electronic organ. This church was in use until June 3, 2007.
  • In 1995 the organ was transferred to the Saint Bernadette Church in Waalwijk-Baardwijk. However, this church was closed in 2000. The organ was then transferred to the Saint Clemens Church, where it was placed in the south transept, in front of the altar of Saint Joseph. The Saint Clemenskerk was renamed Church of St. Bernadette and St. Clemens.
  • After this church also had to be closed, the choir organ was offered for sale. In June 2021 it was transferred by the company Kaat & Tijhuis to the Sint Willibrorduskerk in Beilen.
