Pereboom & Leijser made a new organ for the parish church of Herder around 1855. This instrument was severely damaged by war in 1940. After the war the church was completely restored. The company E. Verschueren in Tongeren built a new organ on this, using a lot of pipework from the old organ. It was dedicated on September 23, 1951. The organ was played by the organist of the church, Hubert Moermans, and his son Winni Moermans, organist in Lanaken.
