The organ was built during the period 1987~1989 by Louis Huivenaar (the well known reed-organ restorer located at Dieren, NL) for the residence of the Schalkoort Family. Louis Huivenaar partly used parts of used and historical materials in this instrument. In 2013 the organ builder carried out technical maintenance. The owner offers his pipe organ for sale because he can no longer use the organ optimally in his new terraced house.
1981 J.L. van den Heuvel-Orgelbouw built a new 12 stop (including one transmission) organ for the Bethel church of the Reformed Church in Bodegraven (NL). On December 10, this organ was inaugurated by the well-known organist Herman van Vliet, who was also involved as organ expert.

The De Koff organ of the Hervormde Kerk in Hagestein was inaugurated on November 18, 1920. This completely newly built organ replaced an old cabinet organ, which was in poor condition. The soberly designed organ case is beautiful on the organ gallery and in the church.
The church council of the Protestant Congregation in Sneek has developed a plan to make the Martinikerk future-proof and multifunctional with a renovation. In the design by architect Kijlstra-Brouwer from Beetsterzwaag, the elliptical, green extension between the bell tower and the church building stands out. Much is being renovated and added on the inside. Therefor the choir organ was disassembled and stored at the organ builder.
