1867: Repairs by N.A.G. Lohmann. Sexquialter and Mixtuur replaced by Viola da Gamba discant and Salicionaal 4'.

1901: W.K. Beukema moves the organ to Mensingeweer without its dummy Rugpositief. By placing the organ in Mensingeweer the intonation was nog changed. The Rugpositief stays in Pieterburen and still exists. A new ugly Rugpositief without any stops is added in Mensingeweer. The organ was buyed for fl. 400,-.
