  • In 1813 Pehr Schiörlin delivered an organ with one manual and attached pedal to the church of Vislanda. The instrument was modified in 1885 by Johannes Carlsson. The Principal 8' was supplemented by a bass, and several stops were replaced by others. Mårtensson completely rebuilt the organ in 1937. He turned it into a two-manual organ with an independent pedal, pneumatic action, Roosevelt chests and a freestanding console. However, the old Schiörlin slider chest was also re-used. In 1951 Troels Krohn altered the disposition.
  • The organ was rebuilt in the years 1976-1977 by Johannes Künkel. He built a new mechanical instrument with slider chests. The register action was installed electrically. The original material from 1813 was used for the Huvudverk, including the old wind chest. The disposition was not completely reconstructed. Künkel made a new swell and a new pedal, where only the Subbass from 1937 still got a place. At the Huvudverk, Carlsson's Salicional from 1885 has been preserved.
