- One of the few surviving organs of Johannes Magnusson is in the church of Bäckebo. It is a single manual organ with eleven stops on the manual and pulldown pedal. The organ was modified in 1884 by Carl August Johansson. He replaced the Principal 4' and the Fleut d'Amoure 8' with a Principal 8' and Gamba 8', and renewed the Trompet.
- Organ expert Einar Erici pointed out in 1948 the importance of the organ, still largely preserved in its original state. The Moberg brothers carried out a restoration in 1952. The original specification was reconstructed. The Scharf had also been modified, and was brought back to its original composition. Consultant was Gotthard Arnér, dom organist of Växjö.
- In 1996 Ålems Orgelbyggeri restored the organ. The Principal 4' from 1952 and the Trompet from 1884 were replaced by new pipes, better suiting the work of Magnusson. Also the Scharf has been completely renewed.
