  • The company Maarschalkerweerd & Zn. built an organ with two manuals and an attached pedal in 1885, which was placed on loan in the Tivoli Hall in Utrecht for the performance of Bach's St. Matthew Passion in April 1885. It was hereafter sold to the Sint Nicolaaskerk in Baarn. After the construction of a new church, the organ has been transferred to this building without modifications in 1906.
  • In 1929 the organ was converted by C.H. from Brussels. He replaced the mechanical slider chests with pneumatic cone chests and the console was renewed. The disposition has been expanded with at least a Cornet and an Oboe. In 1943-1944 Adema-Schreurs carried out a renovation. The stop list was altered and the organ case was split into two parts. In 1967 the organ was demolished and replaced by a new organ by Verschueren.
  • The original windchests and keyboards were stored and used by Elbertse in 1936 for the construction of an organ in the Reformed Church in Westkapelle. The disposition mentioned here is the original from 1885.
