Queensbury Methodist Church, Edgware, London
The new 37 stop organ console is sited in the Sanctuary area of the Church to the right of the altar. The speaker system is mounted high on the Sanctuary wall to the left of the altar facing into the main body of the church, with the amplification system at ground level in a purpose-built wood cabinet.
The organist of the church wrote to us recently and said "When setting out to buy an expensive instrument it is always daunting to be presented with so much choice, but when we visited Cathedral Organs we were made to feel very welcome and relaxed. We were able to try the various instruments to see and hear what they were like and there was no pressure - the guys at Cathedral Organs were extremely helpful.
Before purchasing the organ they made a site visit to establish which organ would be best for us. They gave us so much advice and help that we would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone else. We now have the Eminent organ installed in our church. The sound is fantastic and the singing even better than before. So thank you to all at Cathedral for all your help and guidance, we have been blessed with a great sound and some new friends"
