The Skänninge Organ’s case and around ten of its stops originate from the church’s earlier organ which was built during 1769-1772 by Lars Wahlberg and Anders Wolander, from Wimmerby. That organ had 21 stops divided between one manual and the pedals. The installation of the current organ (1938-1939) by Marcussen & Søn, Aabenraa, Denmark, was carried out under the leadership of Sybrand Zachariassen. The new organ had 34 stops, 3 manuals and a pedal board and a Rückpositiv was added. In 2006 the organ was renovated by Robert Gustavsson Orgelbyggeri AB, Härnösand.
