The Church of St Peter's, Bushey Heath, Hertfordshire

The pipe organ in St Peter's remains in situ; the detached console is disconnected but still on view in the North transept. The instrument dates from 1919 and was built by Brindley and Forster originally. Hill, Norman and Beard enlarged the instument in the early 1930's and it was last rebuilt by Peter Collins in 1966.
The new custom-built Eminent 3 manual organ features quadruple computing modules, double audio boards and two amplification interface boards totalling 21 channels of output sound.
The primary speaker system is in the South West corner of the church in a purpose-built oak case. There are further speakers inside the old organ case, facing into the chancel and into the transept, from where the choir sing. The organist can switch between these three sound locations at the console (or use them all at the same time).
