  • Johan Niklas Söderling built a six-stop organ with an attached pedal for Saleby Kyrka in 1857. In 1896 the instrument was sold to Fänneslunda Kyrka. Probably the Oktava 2' has been replaced at this time by a Violin 8', and the reed stop(probably a Fagott 8' in the bass) by a Borduna 16'. A swell box was also installed.
  • In a 1955 restoration by Nordfors & Co. the Violin has been shortened to an Oktava 2'. The swell box was removed. In 1983 an independent pedal was installed by the company Tostared, whereby the Borduna from 1896 was adapted and placed on a new wind chest.
