  • The church of Janwé in Willemstad was dedicated on January 20, 1924. The first fourty years, a harmonium was used. In 1963 the company Verschueren built a pipe organ, that was tranported to Curaçao on September 24, 1963. The instrument was installed in the church by local people. On February 8, 1964, the organ was dedicated. The inauguration concert was by pastor Pim Janssen. Two stops of the pedal were not installed yet. The pipework and windchest for these stops (Octaafbas 8' and 4', unit) was send to Curaçao in February 1969, and almost cetrainly was installed by pastor Janssen himself.
  • In 1987 a new organ case was constructed, because the old one was demolished by termites. In 2008 the organ was restored by Elbertse. The pneumatic and electronic action was partially renewed. The sub- and super octave couplers were disconnected, as was the automatic pedal function. The inauguration took place on April 17, 2008.
