  • In 1952 and 1955 the company Haerpfer-Erman built an organ for the Sankt Peterkirche in Bous. The Schwellwerk was installed in 1952, Hauptwerk and Pedal in 1955. The organ had two manuals and pedal and 25 stops. In 1974 the Nasard and Tertz were merged into a Sesquialter, and a new Scharff was placed on the Schwellwerk. Around 1990 the Krumhorn of the Hauptwerk was replaced by a Trompete.
  • The organ was completely rebuilt and expanded in 2011-2012 by Thomas Gaida. A second Schwellwerk has been added, the pedal has been expanded and in addition made playable as a Bombardwerk via transmissions, and a Celesta has been installed. The three works Hauptwerk, Schwellwerk I and Schwellwerk II can be linked to any manual, whether normal, sub oktav or super oktav.
