1699: Arp Schnitger builds an organ for the church of Pieterburen.
1700: Allart Meyer constructs a dummy Rugpositief case, i.e. without any stops.
1704: Johannes Radeker added a pedal-board without stops.
1772: New windchest. New manuals and partly new mechanism. Extension by a Fluit 4'.
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,-.
