The Leeflang-organ (1965, 8/IP) of the Reformed Church in Ooltgensplaat received a sound overhaul in June 2021. In addition to voice damage repair, the works included replacing the paper and adhesive tape gaskets of the Holpijp 8' and Roerfluit 4' with felt gaskets. To this end, the hats have been shifted a semitone, new hats have been newly made for the largest pipes. The Mixture 1 1/3' 4-6ranks is replaced by a new Nasard 2 2/3'. The felt bearings of the pedal keyboard have also been renewed. The work has been completed with a general revoicing.

In 1909, the organ builder Maarschalkerweerd & Son built a new organ with pneumatic action in the beautiful neo-Gothic chapel of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd in Leiderdorp (NL). In 1967 organ builder Willem van Leeuwen built a new instrument in the beautiful oak case. The monastery was closed in 1971 and Van Leeuwen transferred the organ to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Den Helder (NL). This church was closed in 1990 and the building stood unused up to 1995 when the Dutch Reformed Church bought it. In 2013 however also this community closed and the building was rented to an Evangelical Congregation. The owner of the church decided to sell the organ, and Van den Heuvel-Orgelbouw was requested to find a fine church for this organ.
