- In 1846 Hermanus Knipscheer delivered a new organ for the Hervormde Kerk (Dutch Reformed Church) in Wormerveer. The Knipscheer organ was rebuilt by H.W. Flentrop with pneumatic action in 1928-1932. In 1946 he placed the organ in a swell box.
- Mense Ruiter restored the situation of 1846 in two phases (1983 and 1990). The first phase was completed on April 29, 1983. Consultant Jan Jongepier played the organ inauguration concert. During this restoration, the mechanical action, the keyboard and the wind chest of the Hoofdwerk were restored, as well as part of the pipework. The propect pipes were overhauled in 1995. Only the Trumpet and the Dulcian were still missing. Those ranks were installed in 2003. On April 11, 1983, the completed organ was inaugurated.
