1790: The organ was built by Albertus van Gruisen for the Hervormde
Kerk at Heerenveen with Hoofdwerk and Rugpositief.
1861: Rebuild of the instrument to an instrument of the Romantic period
by L. van Dam. The Rugpositief was replaced by a new Onderpositief, new manuals
on the left-hand side, new mechanism, repositioning of the windchest as
Hoofdwerk, Bovenwerk. Mostly new pipework.
1932: Repair by Sanders and removal of the Tertiaan.
1972: The church in Heerenveen is dismantled and the organ is sold to
Assen. Mense Ruiter places the organ in the Marturiakerk. The case is somewhat
altered and the disposition changed in a Neo-Baroque style.
1975: A free pedal with old pipework is added behind the organ. The
pipework of the pedal was bought from several places where the pipework was no
longer needed by rebuilding or replacement.
2007: The church has been demolished. The organ is in store by
Sicco Steendam.
