2023 J.J. Elbertse & Zn.  restoration and enlargement

  • In 1967, Verschueren built a completely new organ in the neo-Gothic Sint Nicolaaskerk in Baarn. The previous organ was built in 1885 by Maarschalkerweerd and was converted in 1929. It was torn down and sold in parts. For stops were used in the new organ. This instrument was inaugurated on May 13, 1967 with a concert by Bernard Bartelink, consultant, and the organist of the church, Kees de Wijs. Space is reserved for a Borstwerk with 8 stops, and there is still room for three additional ranks on the pedal windchest. The pedal stops are planned as Gedekt 8', Trumpet 8' and Schalmei 4'. The organ was placed more forward on the gallery during a renovation of the church.
  • In November 2022, a restoration was started by Elbertse. The organ will be completely renovated and the pedal stops that are still missing will be installed.
