  • The so called Øster Hjermitslev-orglet is a small instrument with three stops, that almost certainly stood in Sct. Andreas Kirke in København from 1961 until 1973. It was installed in this church second hand, and the original location was Øster Brønderslev Kirke. The instrument was delivered by the company Andresen & Co., in 1902, but has almost without doubt been manufactured by the company Rieger.
  • In 1973, a new organ was installed in Øster Hjermitslev Kirke, and the old instrument was dismantled and rebuilt in his house by Steen Bülow, who worked at Jydsk. He enlarged the organ with a pull down pedal board. After this the organ was sold in 1987 to another private owner, and in 1992 to Dan Knudsen. In 2007, André Palsgård acquired the organ and installed it in a side aisle of Sct. Andreas Kirke in København in 2009. In this church his collection of historical Danish organs was presented at the time. However, the organ had to be removed from the church in 2010, and was stored by the owner.
  • In 2015 the organ was sold to Rieger Orgelbau in Schwarzach. The instrument has been transferred to their buildings in July 2015.
