At the end of 1968, under consultancy of Lambert Erné, Van Vulpen built an organ for the Pinksterkerk (Nederlands Hervormd) in Amsterdam-Buitenveldert. In the Gereformeerde Pelgrimskerk in the Van Boshuizenstraat in Amsterdam stood an organ from the Leeflang company. When it was decided to merge the two congregations, it was decided to preserve the Pelgrimskerk and to close the Pinksterkerk. The Van Vulpen organ of this church was then transferred to the Pelgrimskerk. The instrument was restored, and during this work the Woudfluit 2' and the Prestant 2' switched places. The Quint was shifted from 1 1/3' to a Nasard 2 2/3'. The stop name still shows Quint 1 1/3'.
