Another of me playing the fine Compton electronic organ model 363 with rotofon speaker at Stapleford Methodist Church near Nottingham.

Im playing the hymn 'Take my life and let it be' to the appropriately named tune 'Nottingham'.

These organs are fast becoming extinct with many churches replacing them with digital instruments etc. Modern technology is indeed appealing with its realistic sampled sounds but history is being lost as a result. Opportunities should be taken to see that these unique instruments are preserved for future generations to experience how technology worked in the pre digital era.

Many thanks to Reverend John Marriot for allowing me access to this wonderful Compton organ.

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.
