St Peter's Church, Tadley, Hampshire

The Organ has 37 speaking stops and tremulants to both Swell and Great. The Great and Swell organs are under separate expression. The dark oak console in the Chancel, occupying the area previously used by the pipe organ console, and the amplification and speaker systems are within the case work of the old pipe organ on the West end gallery (the pedal speaker is outside of the case on the South side of the gallery).
The previous pipe organ was a two manual instrument containing Great and Positive divisions and had got to the stage where a huge amount of money needed spending it.
