Emmeloord, NL
The New Jerusalem Church in Emmeloord was built as a Reformed Church. Willem van Leeuwen delivered an organ in 1955. It was restored by Kaat & Tijhuis in 1982. The Mixture of the Main Work was changed by them from VI-VIII strong to IV strong. The church building has been in use as a PKN church since June 2006. The organ was overhauled in 2008. The Ruispijp IV strong of the pedal was replaced by a Roerquint 5 1/3', probably by the firm Kaat & Tijhuis, who also maintain the organ. A few years later, the Octaaf 2' of the Rugwerk and the Nachthoorn 2' of the Main Work were swapped.
