The first organ of Grönahögs Kyrka was built in 1871 by Hans Josefsson. It was a small organ with five stops, which was replaced by a harmonium in 1891. In 1922 Levin Johansson built a new organ, also with five stops. In 1944 Bo Wedrup placed a larger organ with fourteen stops behind the 1922 facade. This organ was replaced in 1975 by the current one. It was built by Västbo Orgelbyggeri with mechanical slider chests and twelve stops. The front still is the original prospect by Johansson from 1922.
