this Compton organ was brought to holland and installed in Middelburg. My wife and I took thee organ out the concert hall there and installed it in the street organ museum in Haarlem. I visit the old peoples flats in 2006 and some of the people remembered the old cinema and the organ. They were very happy that I had a cd of Len Rawle playing the compton with me. We played a few tracks and that brought back happy moment for the ‘oldies’.
