The church of St John and St Philip Den Haag in the Netherlands made in 1987

This is a new organ based on the organs of Richard Bridge at Christ Church Spitalfields (1735) and St Leonard Shoreditch (1756) in London. The case is based on the Richard Bridge organ at Holy Trinity, Newport, Rhode Island, USA (1733). The organ is in an organ chamber at the east end of the church, but stands more or less in a separate case.
