• In 1962, the Van Vulpen firm installed a small positive with an attached pedal in the Evangelical-Lutheran 'Vaste Burchtkapel', Plesmanlaan 9 in Haarlem. When the Vaste Burchtkapel was closed in 1978, the organ was relocated to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Haarlem (Witte Herenstraat 22) as a choir organ. The organ was removed from the church somewhere around 2000.
  
• The organ was installed by Van Vulpen in Tangen Kirke in Drammen in 2018, to be used during the construction of a new main organ. When this organ was completed in 2020, the small positive was transferred to Vestfossen Kirke by the company Karl Schuke in November 2020.
