- On June 30, 1697, a new organ was inaugurated in the Hervormde Kerk (Dutch Reformed Church) in Zevenaar. The instrument was constructed by Conrad Ruprecht (sr.). From this instrument only the beautiful organ case has been preserved. The church is called 'Ontmoetingskerk' today.
- The original organ by Ruprecht was modified in 1836, when a Viool di Gamba was added to the stop list. But in 1889-1890, a new organ was installed inside the case by Lorenz Schwartze from Anholt. This organ was inaugurated on January 26, 1890. It is assumed that Schwartze used parts of the old pipework, the manuals and stop drawers and the windchest of Ruprecht.
- Except for the organ case and the prospect pipes (Prestant 4' of 1889) the organ was entirely replaced by a new pneumatic organ of Maarschalkerweerd in 1924. The prospect was no longer connected, so the pipes of 1889 were not speaking anymore. The instrument has been repaired by Sanders in 1954 and by G.A.C. de Graaf in 1959.
- In 1967-1968, a new organ has been rebuilt by Flentrop. The new organ has mechanical action and a slider chest. It was dedicated on August 27, 1968, with a concert by Gert Oost. The organ is tuned in a Werckmeister temperament.
- Flentrop carried out maintenance work in 2021. The wind pressure had been modified since 1968, but was put back to the original value of 70 mm water pressure. Flentrop also revoiced the instrument.
