  • Fredric Salling built a new organ for Djura Kyrka in 1801. The instrument had six stops and pulldown pedals. The organ was renovated in 1848 by Gustav Andersson, who renewed the keyboard and the bellows. In 1895 the organ was sold and relocated to the Missionshus in Gagnef. The instrument was acquired by Oskar Lindberg in the twenties, and donated to the Ansgarskapellet by him. In 1930 the organ was transferred to Björkö by Åkerman & Lund.
  • The original specification was modified over time: the Scharf 3 chor disappeared and the Quinta 3' has been replaced by a Salicional 8'.
