  • In 1810 Van Gruisen built an organ for the Doopsgezinde Kerk (Mennonite Church) in Harlingen. According to De Jong, it was enlarged in 1848 by Willem Hardorff. It was relocated in 1857 by Petrus van Oeckelen in the new church building. The prospect has been radically changed, the manual was renewed and the stop list was also changed. Van Oeckelen installed an independent pedal division. There was still a spare slide for one stop on the chests of Onderwerk and Pedaal. The church building was closed in 1998. The organ was subsequently dismantled and stored at Reil.
  • On March 10, 2003, it was announced that the organ was purchased by the Reformed Church in Vollenhove, which wanted to have it built in the Kleine- or Mariakerk there. However, this could not happen. In 2010 it was announced that they wanted to place the organ in the Oude Kerk in Soest, to replace a De Koff organ from 1960.
  • The Reil company restored the organ in 2017 and built it up in Soest. The stop list has been modified on some points. At the Hoofdwerk the Violon 8' was replaced by a Quint 3'. A new Woudfluit 2' and Vox Humana 8' were placed on the positive. Finally, the pedal is expanded with a Gedekt 8'. In Soest, the organ was officially opened on January 12, 2018. The organ was played on this occasion by Gonny van der Maten, organist of the church.
