Johan Niklas Söderling built a new two-manual organ for Voxtorps Kyrka near Värnamo in 1852. It originally had an attached pedal. In 1877 Carl Elfström built a separate pedal drawer with three registers. He moved the Basun 16' from the manual to the pedal. In 1936 Harald Lindegren placed a Trumpet 8' on the free place on the manual. Under direction of Gotthard Arnér, the Moberg company carried out a renovation in 1959. They placed a Mixtur 4 chor on an empty place on the windchest, which had been reserved for a Cornett since the organ was built. The Öververk was placed in a swell box and two pedal couples were applied.
