• In 1792-1796 Matthias Svahlberg built an organ for Filipstads Kyrka. The facade of this organ has been preserved. In 1868-1869 the instrument was rebuilt by Erik Adolf Setterquist. Several new stops have been placed. It was in fact a new organ in the old case, with partly older pipes. The organ was inspected on February 6, 1869 by Carl Johan Lewerth.
  
• Setterquist carried out overhauls and repairs in 1905 and 1916. Magnussons Orgelbyggeri built a new three-manual organ in 1939 in the old case with 33 registers. This instrument was renovated by Hammarberg in 1948, and a choir organ was installed by them in 1950, which was connected to the third manual of the main organ.
  
• In 1981 a new organ was built behind the historic front by Grönlunds Orgelbyggeri with 49 registers on three manuals and a pedal. Karl Nelson Orgelbyggeri performed a revision in 2015. The intonation has been revised and a new digital combination system has been installed.
