1965 Stephan Schumacher  restoration

The organ in the parish church on Ensival was built in 1859-1860 by Pereboom & Leijser, using the organ case of the previous organ of the church. This instrument was built in 1733, but the maker is not known. The Pereboom & Leijser organ was restored in 1965 by Stephan Schumacher. Two stops of the Grand Orgue were installed later, maybe in 1965. The action of the pedal organ has also been modified in electrical. This could have been done by Schumacher, but this is not certain.
