AMERICA'S AMAZING
TRIBUTE TO COMPTON ORGANS :
The Diapason : — "The European organ builders seem to be in a rut with the exception of one in England — John Compton."
The American Organist : — "Mr. John Compton is one of the most brilliant, most versatile, and most competent men engaged in the organ business. He is iust about one generation ahead of his country."
The American Organist : — "At Shepherd's Bush Pavilion out in the West of London I heard something unique — satisfying enough to call for three visits. This theatre had a Compton organ installed about four years ago» before the unit type of theatre organ had its introduction. Voicing is superb, and the percussions and traps are as effective as can be heard anywhere. Evidently the builder has been at work evolving his own ideas without the help of American models."

Each organ built to suit the theatre in which it is installed.
Takes up less room than other organs.
