  • In 1771 Petter Qwarnström built an organ for Borgsjö Kyrka in Medelpad. The beautiful case of this organ has been preserved. The organ itself was converted and expanded in 1855 by Johan Gustaf Ek. But it was demolished in 1914 and replaced by a new instrument from Åkerman & Lund, which was delivered in december 1914. The same company carried out an overhaul in 1945-1946. They modified the disposition. At the Huvudverk, the Gamba 8' was altered to an Oktava 2', and the Borduna 16' was replaced by a Mixtur. At the Svällverk, the Bassethorn 8' was changed to a Principal 4' and the Violin 8' to a Kvinta 2 2/3'. The Voix Celeste was replaced by a Waldflöjt 2'. A new transmission from the Oktava 4' of the Huvudverk was placed on the pedal as Koralbas.
  • The current organ was built in 1970 by Gustaf Hagström. It is a mechanical organ with 21 registers. Probably the Oboe 8' of the Svällverk was installed in later years, replacing a Krummhorn.
