Praise to God, almighty maker - Chris Lawton at St Andrew's Church, Quatt, Bridgnorth

Me playing the organ at St Andrew's Parish Church in the village of Quatt just outside Bridgnorth, Shropshire.br br The organ was built in around 1950 by the John Compton Organ Company Ltd where it replaced an earlier instrument by Bevington. It is the 3 ranks model of 'Miniatura' and has 3 ranks of pipes (Diapason, Flute and Gemshorn) all enclosed and using the extension principal. The specification reads:br br PEDALbr Bourdon 16'br Flute 8'br Great to Pedalbr Solo to Pedalbr br GREATbr Tenordon 16'br Diapason 8'br Gemshorn 8'br Hohl Flute 8'br Octave 4'br Gemshorn 4'br Octave Quint 2.23'br Super Octave 2'br br SOLObr Contra Flute 16'br Diapason 8'br Gemshorn 8'br Hohl Flute 8'br Gemshorn 4'br Flute 4'br Nazard 2.23'br Flautino 2'br Tremulant (affects whole organ)br br ACCESSORIESbr 3 double touch thumb pistons to Great and Pedalbr 3 double touch thumb pistons to Solo and Pedalbr 1 thumb piston - Great to Pedal cancelbr 1 thumb piston - Solo to Pedal cancelbr 1 balanced expression pedal - organbr 1 balanced expression pedal - crescendobr br Im playing the hymn 'Praise to God, almighty maker' to the tune 'Wychbold' which shows off the main facets off this organ for congregational hymn singing.br br Many thanks to the vicar and wardens for allowing me access to this gem of a Compton organ.br br 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 dailymotion.
