1853 Jonas Wengström  new organ
1949 Th. Frobenius & Sønner  restoration and enlargement
1977 Åkerman & Lund  restoration

  • Jonas Wengström built a two-manual organ with 22 stops for Hamrånge Kyrka in 1853. It was restored and enlarged in 1949 by the company Frobenius. On the advice of Henry Weman, organist of the Domkyrka in Uppsala, the Öververk was placed in a swell box and expanded with six new stops. The Dubbelflöjt has been removed. On the manual, the Borduna 16' was replaced by a Mixtur 4-6 chor, but the pipework of the Borduna was preserved. The compass of the pedalboard has been increased from 25 to 30 keys. A Barker lever was placed for the first manual.
  • In 1977, Åkerman & Lund carried out a restoration. They removed the Barker lever and put the Borduna 16' back on the manual instead of the 1949 Mixtur. At the Öververk the Octava 1' and Scharf 3 chor from 1949 were replaced by a new Cornett.
