1986 J.J. Elbertse & Zn.  restoration and enlargement

  • On Monday, May 16, 1966, a two-manual organ was inaugurated in the Elim Church of the Gereformeerde Kerk (Vrijgemaakt) in the south of Rotterdam. It was built by the company Reil from Heerde, under the advice of mr. A. van Dalen fro 's-Hertogenbosch. Until that date, a harmonium was used to accompany the congregational singing. This organ was replaced in 1986 by an electronic instrument. The organ was played by ms. Jongeling during the inauguration.
  • The Reil organ was sold to the Gereformeerde Kerk in Bolnes. This church was built in 1960. The old church building, located in the old village, was subsequently demolished. An electronic organ has been used for a long time. The Reil organ was renovated in 1986 by the Elbertse company under the advice of Hans van der Harst. The Quint 1 1/3' of the Borstwerk was replaced by a Regal 8'. On November 25, 1986, the organ in Bolnes was taken into use.
  • The church building has been part of the Protestant Church in the Netherlands since 2006 and is the only church building of this denomination in Bolnes.
