- The organ of the Gereformeerde Kerk in Boskoop was inaugurated on May 7, 1976. It was built by Louis J. Kramer, under consultancy of Gerard Akkerhuis. The organ was voiced by Mr. J. Schellingerhoudt. When it was put into use it was played by Gerard Akkerhuis with the cooperation of the contralto Sylvia Schlüter. The Trumpet 8' of the pedal had not yet been placed upon delivery.
- Since the merger into the Protestant Church (PKN) of the Netherlands, the building has been used for the Boskoop-Centrum district under the name Zijdekerk, because of the address Zijde 11a. However, this church has been closed after a last service on September 12, 2021.
- In 2021-2023 the organ was overhauled by the company Reil and it has been relocated to the Kerk van Onze Lieve Vrouw Middelares (Church of Our Lady of Mediatrix) in Hijfte. It was put into use on May 25 and 26, 2024. The organ was demonstrated by Paul De Maeyer. During the dedicational service on May 26 it was played by Ben Kramer and Urbain De Wilde. There were also recitals by Urbain De Wilde and Frank Heye on May 25 and by Kristien Heirman and Katrien Mannaert on May 26.
