- The Elthetokerk in Amsterdam was completed in August 1929. The Dekker company from Goes installed a pure-electric organ in the church, the first in the city. The construction consultant was Frans Hasselaar. The architect of the church, Cornelis Kruijswijk, co-designed the facade of the organ, which was placed above the pulpit. The console was on a gallery opposite.
- The organ was later modified by the Spanjaard company in 1941. The church was hit by a bomb on 8 April 1943. This caused the organ to be irreparably damaged. After the war, the Leeflang company placed another organ in the church, being a converted organ from the Aeolian company from 1908. From Dekker he only took over a small part of the pipe work and a wind chest.
