- The organ in Vrå Kyrka in Småland was built in 1855 by Johannes Magnusson. The organ replaced a small organ by Johan Blomqvist, which was sold to Nöttja Kyrka. It is a two manual organ with an independent pedal. The instrument was cleaned in 1909 by Carl Elfström, without changing anything.
- Carl Löfvander worked on the organ in 1927. He replaced the Gamba 8' of the Manual with the Fugara of the Öververk. He replaced the Scharff (3 chor) with a Flöjt 4', made from the pipework of the Gedacht van het Öververk. He replaced the Trumpet 8' of the Manual with a new Violin 8'. He placed the Överk in a swell box. The Gedacht and Fugara of the Öververk were replaced by a new Gedackt and a Salicional 8'. The Fleut 4' was changed into a Flûte Octaviante. In 1944 the Violin 8' was replaced by John Grönvall by a new Mixtur 3 chor. In the following years, the Salicional 8' was shortened to a Waldflöjt 2'.
- The company Västbo Orgelbyggeri restored the organ in 1969. The Flöjt 4' of the manual was replaced by a new Täckflöjt 4'. At the Öververk Flûte Octaviante 4' and Waldflöjt 2' were replaced by a Principal 4' and a new Waldflöjt. The swell box has been removed. The pedal compass was increased from eighteen (C-f°) to twenty-seven (C-d') keys. A new bellows has also been installed.
