  • In 1888 the company Maarschalkerweerd & Zn. built a new organ for the old church on the Rijksstraatweg in De Meern (Oudenrijn). It was a gift from Johan van Oostrom. After the construction of the new church, the instrument was transferred by Elbertse in 1940 to the choir loft at the back of this building.
  • After 1967, the choir was located on the choir of the church during the celebrations. Because the distance to the organ was too large, the choir members wanted an organ in the priest's choir. However, plans to purchase a small pipe organ have not been carried out. In April 1986 the Maarschalkerweerd organ appeared to be in a neglected state. An extensive restoration by the Elbertse company followed, which was completed in 1988. Plans to place the organ in the choir of the church were cancelled. In 1996 an electronic Ahlborn organ was bought, type Hymnus III.
