  • On September 4, 1987, a new organ was put into use in the Hervormde Kerk (Dutch Reformed Church) in Drongelen, which was built in 1951. It was built by the company Pels & Van Leeuwen under the advice of Frans van Tilburg. The disposition was designed by the organ committee of the Dutch Reformed Church. Piet Veldman made the carvings on the prospect.
  • In 2011, the Reformed congregations of Drongelen and Eethen merged with each other. After a final celebration on September 17, 2017, the church in Drongelen is closed for worship. The church was then sold to serve as a residence. It is not known what happened to the organ.
