Me playing the organ at Staplehurst United Reformed Church, Kent.I am only an amateur and by no means a pro so wanted to point this out and hope you are still able to get the jist of the amazing skills of the John Compton Organ Company Ltd.The organ was originally built in 1935 by the John Compton Organ Company Ltd for the Congregational Church at Whistable, Kent.It was moved here in 1981 and installed by local organ enthusiast Ron Parratt.Some minor tonal alterations were made but otherwise is as built with the 4 ranks of pipes (Diapason, Flute, Salicional and Tromba) installed in a fully enclosed chamber at the front of the church.The specification reads:PEDALBourdon 16'Echo Bass 16'Diapason 8'Flute 8'Salicional 8'Tromba Bass 16'Great to PedalSwell to PedalGREATContra Salicional 16'Diapason 8'Hohl Flute 8'Salicional 8'Octave 4'Salicet 4'Nazard 2.2/3'Fifteenth 2'Salicetina 2'Swell to GreatSWELLHohl Flute 8'Salicional 8'Flute 4'Salicet 4'Piccolo 2'Echo Cymbale IIITromba Bass 16'Tromba Minor 8'Tromba Clarion 4'TremulantACCESSORIES4 thumb pistons to Great4 thumb pistons to Swell2 pedal coupler canceller thumb pistons3 ventil switches1 balanced expression pedal - organ1 balanced expression pedal - crescendoFor this first video I am playing the hymn 'Hark what a sound, and too divine for hearing' to the 'Highwood' which is ideal for demonstrating the power of this instrument.The crescendo pedal is used in the third line of the first verse.Many thanks to the organist here for allowing me access to this fine Compton organ and for making me so welcome.NOTE: this is purely my interest in order to make sure that these fine organs are archived forever and I do not make any monetary profit by this video being on youtube.For more information on the John Compton Organ Company Ltd and to see me play other Compton organs, please click on the following link for my site dedicated to the John Compton Organ Company Ltd:http://comptonorgans.yolasite.com/REQUEST: I am always on the lookout for Compton organs to play - particularly electrones - so if you know of any churches which still have these then please do let me know.I will happily give a donation or pay any applicable room hire charge.If you have an interest in Compton organs then I invite you to join my facebook group at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/compt...
