- In the Gereformeerde Kerk, Provincialeweg 19 in Kornhorn stood a unit organ of Pels & Zn, which was installed in 1956. in 1984 Wim Olthof bought an old English organ from Fokke Feenstra. The instrument was largely restored and installed by himself. Bakker & Timmenga restored the wind chest of the Great Organ. The organ was originally built by Samuel Atterton in the years 1895/1896 for the Baptist church of Dunstable. When placed in Kornhorn, Olthof replaced the non-original Voix Celeste with a Fifteenth 2' from Walker & Sons. Two places were not occupied on the Swell Organ. A Mixture came on one of those places, also from Walker, and in 1990 a Cornopean 8' was placed on the other spare slide. The organ was officially inaugurated on September 27, 1984. Fokke Feenstra restored the wind chest of the Swell Organ in 1992.
- The church was closed in 2017. The organ was put for sale, and it has been bought by the roman catholic parish in Wolvega, where it was installed in the Sint Franciscuskerk in December 2019 by the company Van der Putten. The organ was dedicated on February 23, 2020. A special concert was given by Ton van Eck, consultant, and the organists of the parish, Henk Veldhuizen, Ulbe Tjallingii and Fedde Tuinstra. The church building in Kornhorn has been sold and has been converted into a Hindu temple.
