I 1958, efter mere end 50 års brug, skulle det oprindelige orgel i Sct. Peders Kirke kasseres. Frederiksborg orgelbyggerfirma blev valgt blandt flere kendte firmaer. En omfattende restaurering af kirken som ligeledes blev påbegyndt i 1958 var skyld i en meget høj luftfugtighed som umuliggjorde det nye orgelbyggeri, og derfor gik der hele tre år før det nye orgel stod færdig, og kunne tages i brug d. 7. maj 1961.
Orglet er et mekanisk sløjfelade orgel med 32 stemmer fordelt på 3 manualer og pedal. Orglet har gennemgået ombygning i hhv. 1981 og 1999. Begge gange stod orgelbygger Marcussen & Søn for arbejdet.
Ved den sidste renovering og ombygning flyttede man de store pedaltårne i siderne af orglet ind til pulpiturets bagvæg og forlængede gulvet med 40 cm. ud i kirkerummet. Hvor orgel og pulpitur tidligere fremstod meget lukket og med plads til højest 10 korsangere, har kirken efter ombygningen fået et lyst og flot pulpitur hvor orglet visuelt kommer til sin ret, og hvor pulpituret har plads til hele 50 korsangere.
I forbindelse med denne store ombygning, blev der også arbejdet med organistens muligheder. Den største tilføjelse var muligheden for at programmere ønskede registreringer og klange på forhånd. Hvor mange orgelværker før krævede hjælpere til at klare disse skift, kan organisten idag klare det hele selv.
Sct. Peders Kirke er hjemsted for det internationalt anerkendte og prisvindende Sct. Peders Koncertkor. Kirkens orgel kan høres på flere indspilninger med koret, ligesom det flere gange har været en del af DR's programserie "Før Søndagen"
In 1958, after more than 50 years of use, the original organ in Sct. Peders Kirke was discarded. Frederiksborg organ builder company was chosen from among several well-known companies. An extensive restoration of the church, which also started in 1958, was responsible for a very high humidity which made it impossible to build the new organ, and therefore it took three years before the new organ was completed and become operational on 7th May 1961.
The organ is a mechanical wind pipe organ with 32 stops, 3 manuals and pedalboard. The organ has undergone restoration work and rebuilding, respectively in 1981 and 1999. Both times the work was done by organ builder Marcussen & Son.
During the last restoration and rebuilding, the two big pedal towers on the sides of the organ were moved to the rear wall and the floor was extended with 40 cm towards the churchcenter. Where organ and pulpitum previously appeared very closed and with room for no more than 10 singers, the church after the reconstruction has a bright and beautiful pulpitum where the organ visually shows off, and where the pulpitum has room for vocal ensembles counting 50 singers.
As part of resturation of the organ some additions to the organs abilities were made. The biggest addition was the ability to program the desired stops in advance. Where many organworks before required helpers to carry out these changes, the organist today is able everything by himself.
Sct. Peder's Church is home to the internationally acclaimed and award winning Sct. Peder's Concert Choir. The organ can be heard on several recordings with the choir, and it has been a part of program series "Before Sunday" on danish national TV several times.
