| Year | Builder | Opus | Activity | 1611 | Daniel Hayl | new organ | 1777 | Johann Feyrstein | new organ | 1931 | Alois Fuetsch | new organ in old case | 2015 | Rieger Orgelbau | new organ in old case |
- In the years 1773-1777 Johann Feyrstein built a new organ for the Stiftskirche in Stams. It had two manuals and an independent pedal with a total number of 27 stops. During construction, Feyrstein took over pipework from the previous organ, which had been built in 1611 by Daniel Hayl.
- In 1931 the interior was replaced by a new pneumatic organ with cone chests by Alois Fuetsch. Fuetsch also took over a lot of pipe work from the previous instrument. Of the 34 registers, nineteen contain pipework from 1611 and 1773.
- In 2013, the Rieger company was commissioned to build a new organ with 43 stops in the historic case, in which the existing historic pipework has also been reinstated. The organ was completed at the end of 2015.
