- In 1963 the company Magnusson built an organ for the Biskopsgårdens Kyrka in Gothenburg. The organ was constructed in a corner of the church, with the Bröstverk set up above the console, and the rest of the organ on the left side of the organist in its own cabinet. The church's previous organ, a small Magnusson positive with attached pedal from 1957, was sold to Flatåskyrkan in Västra Frölunda.
- In 2010-2011 the instrument was rebuilt by the company Tostareds. The arrangement was radically modified, after which the entire organ was placed in one organ case, with the keyboard on the right side. The old Bröstverk was placed in a swell box. On the Huvudverk, the Spetskvint 1 1/3' was replaced by a new Principal 8', and the Principal 2' from the Bröstverk was relocated as Oktava 2' on the Huvudverk. The new Svällverk was the same as the old Bröstverk, but with the Waldflöjt 2' from the Huvudverk. Furthermore, the Cymbel was removed and replaced by a Nasard and a Ters. On the pedal, Tostareds replaced the Pommer 4' with a Borduna 8' and the Regal 8' with a Fagott 16'. Finally, a Tremolo has been placed on the Svällverk.
