The organ builder Willem van Leeuwen and his organ in Almelo: Gerrit van Leeuwen Junior (1867-1946) was master organ builder at the company of organ builder Jan van Gelder. In 1903 he established himself as an independent organ builder. After Gerrit’s death in 1946, his sons Gerrit and Willem (1902-1992) continued the company. In 1964 a merger followed with the Bernard Pels ailing company and the company name became Pels & Van Leeuwen. The Willem van Leeuwen organ (opus 524) in Almelo was inaugurated on October 8th 1965. Up to this moment the organ was maintained by Reil Organ builders from Heerde (NL).
