- In December 1969 a Hammond organ was installed in the Gereformeerde Kerk Vleuten-De Meern (Woerdlaan 14 in De Meern). At the same moment the congegration started with actions to raise money for a pipe organ. Construction consultant was Dr. A.J. Gierveld. Eventually, the new pipe organ was inaugurated six years later: on December 17, 1975. Mr. Teunissen played a the opening recital. A Regal 8' was still reserved on the Borstwerk, a Gedekte Fluit 4' on the Hoofdwerk and a Bassoon 16' on the Pedaal. Over time, the Flute was placed 4', as well as a Trumpet 8' on the pedal.
- As a result a colloboration with the Hervormde Kerk, the church building was closed on 1 January 2002. The organ was sold. After a revision, it was installed by Ide Boogaard in the Eskol church in Houten. The Borstwerk was extended with a Dulcian 8'. The Octave 2' of the Borstwerk and the Woudfluit 2' of the Hoofdwerk changed places. On October 12, 2002 the instrument was officially put into use in Houten with a recital by Dick den Engelsman, advisor on behalf of the VOGG.
- in 2020, a restoration was carried out by the company Mense Ruiter. The wind system was completely renewed. Some stops were modified: the Trompet 8' of the pedal was modified into a Bazuin 16', on the Borstwerk the Nasard 1 1/3' was modifed into 2 2/3', and the bass of the Sesquialter (original starting at a°) was installed. The Gedekt of the pedal was replaced by a new wooden Octaafbas and the copper Subbas 16' was replaced by a new wooden Subbas. The Trompet of the Hoofdwerk was renewed, and a new Prestant 4' was installed on the Borstwerk.
