- In 1852 Johan Niklas Söderling built an organ for Gårdsby Kyrka with fourteen stops. The organ had two manuals and an attached pedal. Carl Gustaf Blom Carlsson designed the organ case. The organ was expanded in 1895 by Carl Elfström with an independent pedal with two registers. In 1935 the Mårtenssons company converted the organ to pneumatic action, with a new freestanding console. The Öververk was placed in a swell box.
- Anders Perssons restored the instrument in 1971-1972. The organ case was reconstructed to its original state. The organ itself was reconstructed in 2007 by Tostareds Orgelfabrik, taking the situation of 1895 as the starting point. The organ has been inaugurated on December 1st, 2007.
