- The village church of Midwolde (Westerkwartier) has an old organ, built by Levinus Eekmans in 1630 and rebuilt by Andreas de Mare in the years 1657-1660. Eekmans used a lot of material from the previous organ from around 1540. The church was built as a 'slotkapel' (castle chapel) for the Borg Nienoord. In 1787, Lohman overhauled the organ. In the years 1911-1913 it was modified by the firm Van Oeckelen. The organ was reconstructed in 1984-1986 by A.H. de Graaf, after which it became operational again on September 26, 1986. Consultant during the work was Klaas Bolt. In 1989 De Graaf installed another tremulant.
- Major maintenance was carried out in 2013 by Orgelmakerij Van der Putten. They also placed a nachtegaal ('nightingale') as a new register.
