  • Anders Thulé built a two-manual organ for the church in Sund on Åland in 1860. The organ was expanded in 1915 with a second manual by Conrad Anders Zachariassen. He moved the console to the side of the organ. The Trumpet was replaced by a Gamba, and the twelve largest pipes of the Fugara were installed. In 1937 the organ was transferred to the tower of the church, where a small chapel was realised.
  • After the construction of a new organ in the church in 1973, the old instrument was moved and put out of use. The second manual and pedal are missing, but large parts of Thulé's organ are still present.
