  • Hermanus ter Hart built a secretary organ for Mr P.T. Dekker in Rhoon in 1879. The organ had five registers. Later, it came into the possession of mr. G.J. Vrijland, and in 1918 of his son L. Vrijland, both from Rhoon. Mr. A. Bouman bought the organ in 1942. He had it enlarged by Theo Strunk. The Stinkens company modified the pipework in 1952. In 1958, Herman Meijer made an electronic pedal for the organ. This was removed by Bouman himself in the 1990s.
  • After his death in 1999, the instrument was sold to Westeneng Accountants in Barneveld. Sicco Steendam restored it to its original state. The organ was sold by Westeneng in 2003 to a private individual in Barendrecht, because Westeneng came into possession of a cabinet organ by J.J. Vool. The organ was transferred by the Witteveen company.
