  • Company that originates from the workshop of W. Hardorff. It was founded on December 18, 1880 by two former employees of this company, Fokke Bakker (1842-1904) and Arjen Timmenga (1853-1920). In 1902, Bakker retired from the firm for health reasons. In 1920, Arjen's son Bernard Timmenga (1889-1971) took over the management of the company. Bernard retired in 1960, after which the company was continued by Wopke Yedema (1928-1998) and Harm Pieter Dam (1935-1998), who had also worked at Mense Ruiter, where they worked together on various organs. In 1985, Dam withdrew from the company. Albert or Bert Yedema (1962), son of Wopke, later took over the company. Wopke Yedema died on November 14, 1998 in Leeuwarden.
  • The Bakker & Timmenga company has been taken over by Orgelmakerij Reil as of October 1, 2023.
