Kees Volger from Heffingen owns a historic secretary organ. It was built in 1841 or in 1851 by J.C. InderMaur. It is of unknown origin. In 1970 it was owned by Bernhard Steinvoort, but was in storage in the tower of the Kruiskerk in Amstelveen. Georg Westenfelder restored the organ in 1999-2000 in collaboration with Stefany Cref-Küppers. Nicolas Fohl from Nommern restored the organ case. The Quint 1 1/2' (D) has been replaced with a Quint 2 2/3'. The organ was then placed at Kees Volger's residence. In April 2000 it was put into use with a concert by the previous owner, Bernhard Steinvoort.
