- The Hervormde Kerk in Leek was completed around 1660. A small organ was acquired for the church. The maker and origin are unknown. Dirk Lohman restored the organ in 1786-1787. He tuned it into an equal temperament. Over time, the organ fell into disrepair.
- The organ served in Leek until 1915, when it was replaced by a new and larger instrument from the Van Oeckelen company. The old organ was sold to the Hervormde Gemeente in Haulerwijk. In 1925 the Dekker company installed a new organ here. The old organ moved again. Taeke Klimstra transferred it to the Gereformeerde Kerk in Nij Beets. The organ was demolished in 1946 or 1947. It was replaced by a harmonium, in which a number of pipes from the old organ were set up as a fake prospect. This facade was later demolished.
- The disposition mentioned here is from around 1850 and comes from the work of Broekhuyzen.
