  • In 1884 Andreas Conrad Zachariasen built a new mechanical organ for Iitti Kirkko, in Swedish Itis Kyrka. The organ had seventeen registers. It was converted and extended in 1914 by the Kangasala firm. It was rebuilt with pneumatic action and cone chests. The renovated organ had twenty stops.
  • The organ was replaced in 1961 by a new organ from Kangasala, opus 670 from this firm. It was placed in Zachariasen's organ case, and thirteen registers were reused. The organ had electropneumatic action.
  • In 2001 Martti Porthan completed a new mechanical organ, built in the Zachariasen style, but with a larger stop list than the original instrument. The still existing pipes from 1894 and 1914 have been given a new place in the organ, and the organ case has been restored.
