- The organ in the Grote of Martinuskerk in Dokkum was built in 1688-1690 by Johannes Helman. In 1770 Albertus Hinsz carried out a fairly extensive repair. Nicolaas Lohman worked on the organ in 1857, and possibly installed the Sexquialter on the rugwerk, because this stop is not mentioned by Knock (1788), but was by Van 't Kruijs (1880). However, it can also be an error in the stop list of Knock.
- The interior was renewed in 1890-1894 by the Van Dam company. Because the old cases were too small, the pedal was set up next to the case, and it was concealed by a wooden partition. This was removed after the restoration of the church. The Flentrop company relocated a part of the Van Dam organ in the cases.
- It was decided in time to have a new organ built in the old organ case. The interior of Van Dam was built in 1979 in Nunspeet in a new case by Hendriksen & Reitsma. The Flentrop company built a new organ in the old cases in Dokkum that corresponded as much as possible to the old Helman concept. Among other things, the Knock disposition collection from 1788 was used as a guideline for this. Construction consultants were Willem Hülsmann, Ad. Fahner and Herman S.J. Zandt. This new organ was inaugurated on August 20, 1979.
- In 1984 the ornamentation of the organ case was restored by R. van Wieren from Dokkum. The instrument was overhauled in 1998. The pitch was then lowered by a semitone. Maintenance works have been carried out in 2016 by Bakker & Timmenga.
