Rock of ages, cleft for me - Chris Lawton at Wesley Methodist Church, Kingswood, Bristol

Me playing the organ at Wesley Methodist Church in Kingswood, Bristol.br br The organ here was originally built by the John Compton Organ Company Ltd in 1965 for Speedwell Methodist Church, Bristol and cost £782. It came here to Wesley in 2004. It is the rare HE2 with theatre organ specification including Vibraphone and Chimes effects but also ideal for accompanying hymn singing. The specification reads:br br PEDALbr Contra Bass 16'br Bourdon 16'br Flute 8'br Flute 4'br br LOWERbr Bass Flute 8'br Tuba 8'br Flute 8'br Vox Humana 8'br String 8'br Flute 4'br String 4'br Fifteenth 2'br Mutebr br UPPERbr Horn 16'br Tibia 16'br Tibia 8'br Trumpet 8'br Clarinet 8'br Oboe 8'br Cello 8'br Tibia 4'br Twelfth 2.23'br Piccolo 2'br Vibraphonebr Chimesbr Mutebr br GENERALbr Vibrato Onbr Vibrato HeavyLightbr Vibrato FastSlowbr Bass Sustainbr Treble Sustainbr Reverberationbr br PRESETSbr Diapason Chorusbr Baroque Chorusbr Full Swellbr br For this first video im playing the hymn 'Rock of ages, cleft for me' to the tune 'Petra' to show off the organs capabilities as a church instrument. The Chimes stop can be heard at the very end.br br Many thanks to the stewards here for allowing me access to this wonderful and now rare model of Compton electronic 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.
