  • In 1831 an old cabinet organ with six stops was placed in the Hervormde Kerk in Niebert. The organ dates from around 1775, but the maker is unknown. In 1834 Johannes Timpe expanded it with three registers and an attached pedal. In 1853 it was restored by J.F. Düden and J.H. van Olst, schoolmaster and craftsman in the village, because it could no longer be played. Geert Pieters Dik carried out an overhaul in 1860.
  • In 1941 the organ was demolished and replaced by a second-hand organ from Bakker & Timmenga, which was installed by the Spanjaard company. The disposition mentioned was noted by Johan van Meurs just before the demolition, with additions by Arie Bouman.
