• The history of the organ in Söraby Kyrka begins in 1785. In that year, Pehr Schiörlin built an organ with ten stops. The facade was designed by Olof Tempelman. Carl August Johansson rebuilt the organ in 1873. But it was demolished in 1926 except for the case. The firm Setterquist & Son placed a two-manual pneumatic organ with twelve stops behind the prospect of Schiörlin. This was replaced in 1972 by a new mechanical organ, also from Setterquist. The new organ has fifteen stops.
  
• A new organ is said to have been built in 1985 by Västbo Orgelbyggeri. It may be a conversion of the existing work. No information is known about this. The listed specification is from 1972.
