Frändefors, Sverige (Västra Götalands län) - Frändefors Kyrka
Municipal: Vänersborgs Kommun
Region:Dalsland
Address: Kyrkogatan 6, 462 69, Frändefors
Description nr.: 2030823.
Built by: Johan Niklas Söderling (1855)
In 1855 Johan Niklas Söderling from Gothenburg built a new organ for Frändefors Kyrka. After a new organ was built by the company Walcker in 1921, the old organ was taken over by an interested teacher, who temporarily placed it in an old school. At the end of the eighties it was decided to have the Walcker organ replaced. The Söderling organ turned out to be still in the school. An inventory showed that only four pipes were missing and the original bellows were removed. The organ was subsequently restored by Bo Grönvall and expanded in the style of Söderling with a second manual. The keyboard and the three chip bellows were also newly made. In 1991 the instrument was put back into use at its original location.
