- in 2005 the Thomas firm built a new organ for the Église Sainte-Gertrude in Gilsdorf. The upper part of the organ case is older. This was manufactured by the Vereecken brothers for the organ of the Episcopal School in Sint-Niklaas in 1902. Advisor during the construction was Paul Hoffman. The historic case is placed on top of a new lower case, in which the console is realized. On October 2, 2005, the organ could be consecrated. It was played by Maurice Clement on this occasion.
- The first chapel of the Normal School in Sint-Niklaas was built in 1875 on the Kasteelstraat, where the school had opened two years earlier. In this chapel stood an organ of Pieter Adam Van Dinther, built in the years 1876-1877. This organ moved to the music room of the school in 1901. The Vereecken company built a new organ for the chapel, which was dedicated in 1902. The new organ had pneumatic cone chests and a romantic specification. After the construction of a new chapel, the instrument was moved to this chapel in May 1912.
