The Great Organ, situated at the west end of the New Church, is the work of Johann Wolfgang Schonat of Kitzingern/Main (W. Germany).
The imposing structure was designed by Jacob van Campen, the famous architect of the Town Hall. The Rückpositiv, the Pedal-towers as well as the Great are provided with shutters, decorated with paintings by Jan Gerritsz. van Bronckhost. The work has been executed between 1650 and 1655.
Jacobus Galtusz. van Hagerbeer enlarged  in 1668-1673 the organ considerably by adding a third manual (Oberwerk) and 6 extra stops in the Rückpositiv. Van Hagerbeer died during the work in 1670. His foreman Roelof Barentsz Duyschot and his son Johannes finisched the job in 1673. When the organ was completed, it had 43 stops, 10 spring-chestes, 3 slider-chests and 8 bellows.
During the 18th. entury only unimportant reparations were carried out.The organ-builders Bätz and Co. of Utrecht restored the instrument in 1838-40. They removed the double ranks of many stops. In the Oberwerk a Viola da gamba 8 ft. replaced the Scherp. The pedal-stops Quint 3 ft. and Mixture were replaced with a Roerquint 6 ft. and a Trumpet 4 ft. Bätz enlarged the Hauptwerk by adding a Dulciaan 16 ft. and a Trumpet 8 ft. Many pipes were shifted and provided with tuning slides. Bätz also renewed the key-boards and couplers.
In 1912 the oran-builder Maarschalkerweerd of Utrecht replaced the 8 original, single-rise, diagonal bellows by reservoir bellows. The sesquialtera in the Oberwerk and the scherp in the Hauptwerk were replaced by a Roerfluit 4 ft. and a Flute 2 ft.
In 1977-81 the organ has been most conscientiously restored by Marcussen & Son of Aabenraa (Denmark),
The Great Organ of the New Church in Amsterdam is one of the most important historic instruments in the Low Countries.
The organ now has 48 stops and 5005 speaking pipes. It is the best preserved organ with spring-chests in Europe.
