- An organ with five stops for Tortuna Kyrka was built by Lars Ersson in 1642. Behind the old front, Daniel Stråhle built a new organ in 1739. This instrument was replaced in 1854 by a new organ by Gustaf Andersson. Stråhle's organ was installed in Västerås Skerike Kyrka in 1857. It had five ranks. In 1904, Åkerman & Lund installed a new organ behind the old front, also with five registers. This was replaced in 1980 by a larger mechanical organ with ten stops, built by Åkerman & Lund.
- Ersson's facade is the oldest that has been preserved in Västerås Stift.
