  • In 1984, Fama & Raadgever placed an organ in the church building Pro Rege, Oudedijk 113 in Rotterdam-Kralingen. It was taken into use on May 30, 1984, and was played by Jan van der Zwart and Gerard Mulder on this occasion. Special is the Tremulant, which can be used on the first or second manual by choice.
  • After a final celebration on June 18, 2023, the building has been closed. It has been sold and will be converted into care apartments. The organ was transferred to the Oranjekerk in Rotterdam-Hillegersberg by the Van den Heuvel company. It was inaugurated here in October 2023.
