Me playing the organ at Wellingborough (High Street) United Reformed Church, Northamptonshire. <br /> <br />The organ was originally built as a 3 manual by J Binns of Leeds. In 1913, this was expanded to 4 manuals by the John Compton Organ Company Ltd who rebuilt the organ in 1932. Im more recent years, the organ has been overhauled and a new electrical system fitted. The specification reads: <br /> <br />PEDAL <br />Resultant Bass 32' <br />Open Diapason 16' <br />Violone 16' <br />Bourdon 16' <br />Octave 8' <br />Violoncello 8' <br />Bass Flute 8' <br />Octave Flute 4' <br />Bombarde 16' <br />Tromba 8' <br />Choir to Pedal <br />Great to Pedal <br />Swell to Pedal <br />Solo to Pedal <br /> <br />CHOIR <br />Geigen Principal 8' <br />Lieblich Gedact 8' <br />Dulciana 8' <br />Gamba 8' <br />Stopped Flute 4' <br />Nazard 2.2/3' <br />Piccolo 2' <br />Orchestral Oboe 8' <br />Clarinet 8' <br />Sub Octave <br />Octave <br />Tremulant <br />Swell to Choir <br />Solo to Choir <br /> <br />GREAT <br />Double Open Diapason 16' <br />Open Diapason I 8' <br />Open Diapason II 8' <br />Open Diapason III 8' <br />Stopped Diapason 8' <br />Principal 4' <br />Harmonic Flute 4' <br />Twelfth 2.2/3' <br />Fifteenth 2' <br />Mixture IV <br />Posaune 8' <br />Swell to Great 16' <br />Swell to Great 8' <br />Swell to Great 4' <br />Choir to Great <br />Solo to Great <br /> <br />SWELL <br />Open Diapason 8' <br />Hohl Flute 8' <br />Echo Viole 8' <br />Voix Celeste 8' <br />Principal 4' <br />Fifteenth 2' <br />Mixture II <br />Contra Oboe 16' <br />Cornopean 8' <br />Clarion 4' <br />Sub Octave <br />Octave <br />Tremulant <br /> <br />SOLO <br />Large Open Diapason 8' <br />Gross Flute 8' <br />Bombarde 16' <br />Tuba 8' <br />Tuba Clarion 4' <br /> <br />ACCESSORIES <br />6 thumb pistons to Great <br />6 thumb pistons to Swell duplicated by toe pistons <br />6 thumb pistons to Choir <br />4 thumb pistons to Solo <br />6 toe pistons to Pedal <br />3 reversible thumb pistons <br />2 reversible toe pistons <br />1 general cancel thumb piston <br />Great and pedal pistons combined <br />Double touch canceller to each division <br />Voltmeter <br /> <br />For this first video I am playing the hymn 'And can it be' to the tune 'Sagina' which makes use of the Compton Tuba at the end of each verse. <br /> <br />Many thanks to the church officials for allowing me access to wonderful Compton organ. <br /> <br />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: <br /> <br />http://comptonorgans.yolasite.com/
