- Doornbos installed a new organ with a neo-Gothic front in the Gereformeerde Kerk in Pieterburen in 1920. The instrument was assembled from several older parts. The wind chest of the Hoofdwerk was old, and that of the Dwarswerk comes from a house organ. The organ originally had two manuals.
- In 1961 the interior of the church was modernized. The organ case was also modified at that time. The original imitation oak color has been replaced by off-white. Mense Ruiter restored the organ in 1962. The Euphoon 8' of the Hoofdwerk has been replaced by a Mixtuur. In later years, the windchest of the Dwarswerk started to show more and more propblems. To solve this, the complete division has been removed and was stored in the organ case. Since then, the organ has had only one keyboard.
- The church building closed in 1994. The organ was sold in 1999 to Bakker & Timmenga.
