Compton cinema organs, built by the John Compton organ company of Acton, were the most prevalent of theatre organs in the UK, some 261 were installed in cinemas and theatres in the British Isles. Comptons made many fine church and concert organs too. Their cinema organs employed state of the art technology and engineering and many are still in existance today. One of the most noteable is at the " Pipes In The Peaks ", in the village of Thorpe in Derbyshire.
During the silent movie era and into the early 1930s, theatre organs were built in large numbers, in a variety of sizes, and filled the gap between a simple piano accompaniment and a full orchestra. Indeed, even when theatre owners hired orchestras to accompany silent movies, they usually also used an organ to provide relief to the orchestra, and to play for less-expensive showings.
After the development of sound movies, theatre organs were still installed to provide live music between features. After the 'golden years' during the 1930s though many were scrapped, or sold to churches, private homes, museums, ice rinks, Garage owners, Golf clubs and restaurants (especially pizzerias). In that era, many of the tonal characteristics of theatre organs became somewhat more exaggerated than they had been in the silent movie era.
In the UK there are many theatre organs still to be heard but only a handful are in their original location.
Such instruments were typically built to provide the greatest possible variety of timbres with the fewest possible pipes, and often had pianos and other percussion instruments built in, as well as a variety of sound effects.
Many organ builders supplied instruments to theatres. Page, Marr and Colton, Compton, Möller, Robert-Morton, Rutt, Conacher, Wurlitzer, Hilsdon, Kimball, Barton, Christie, and Hill Norman and Beard. These last two were both brand names for the same company, which specialised at the time in standardised extension organs with electro-pneumatic action, ideal for the theatre and then promoted as convenient and cost-effective for churches. In general the Christie brand was used for theatre organs, which came with contemporary styled consoles, while the firm's own name Hill Norman and Beard appeared on similar and sometimes identical pipes and actions supplied to customers seen as less frivolous, controlled by a traditional drawbar-stop console. Their standardised pipe, relay and blower packages were called unit organs, and for theatre use were augmented with percussion and other additional effects.
Gli organi del cinematografo del Compton, sviluppati dall'azienda dell'organo del John Compton di Acton, erano il più prevalente degli organi del teatro nel Regno Unito, circa 261 sono stati installati in cinematografi ed in teatri nelle isole britanniche. Comptons ha reso molti gli organi fini di concerto e della chiesa anche. I loro organi del cinematografo hanno impiegato la tecnologia avanzata e l'ingegneria e molte sono ancora oggi in existance. Uno del più noteable è “ai Pipes In The Peaks, nel villaggio di Thorpe nel Derbyshire. Durante l'era silenziosa di film e nell'inizio degli anni 30, gli organi del teatro sono stati sviluppati nei grandi numeri, in una varietà di formati ed hanno colmato lo spacco fra un accompagnamento semplice del piano e un'orchestra piena. Effettivamente, anche quando i proprietari del teatro hanno assunto le orchestre per accompagnare i film silenziosi, solitamente inoltre hanno usato un organo per fornire il rilievo all'orchestra ed a gioco per le rappresentazioni di meno-costose. Dopo lo sviluppo dei film sani, gli organi del teatro ancora sono stati installati per fornire la musica in tensione fra le caratteristiche. Dopo “gli anni dorati„ durante i 1930s benchè molti siano scartati, o siano venduti alle chiese, alle sedi riservate, ai musei, ai rinks del ghiaccio, ai proprietari del garage, ai randelli di golf ed ai ristoranti (particolarmente pizzerias). In quell'era, molte delle caratteristiche di tonal degli organi del teatro sono stato esagerate piuttosto di avevano avute luogo nell'era silenziosa di film. Nel Regno Unito ci sono molti organi del teatro ancora da sentire ma soltanto una manciata è nella loro posizione originale. Tali strumenti sono stati costruiti tipicamente per fornire la varietà possibile più grande di timbres i pochi tubi possibili e spesso hanno avuti i piani ed altri strumenti di percussione integrati, così come una varietà di effetti sani. Molti costruttori dell'organo hanno fornito gli strumenti ai teatri. Pagina, Marr e Colton, Compton, Möller, Robert-Morton, Rutt, Conacher, Wurlitzer, Hilsdon, Kimball, Barton, Christie e normanno e barba della collina. Questi ultimi due erano entrambi i nomi di marca per la stessa azienda, che si è specializzata allora negli organi standardizzati di estensione con azione elettropneumatica, ideali per il teatro ed allora hanno promosso come convenienti e redditizi per le chiese. Generalmente la marca del Christie è stata usata per gli organi del teatro, che sono venuto con le sezioni comandi designate contemporanee, mentre il propri normanno e barba nomi della collina della ditta sono comparso su simile ed i tubi a volte identici e le azioni hanno fornito ai clienti visti come meno frivolous, controllate da un tradizionale drawbar-arrestano la sezione comandi. I loro pacchetti standardizzati del tubo, del relè e del ventilatore sono stati denominati organi dell'unità e per il teatro l'uso è stato aumentato con percussione ed altri effetti supplementari.

Los órganos del cine de Compton en, construidos por la compañía del órgano de Juan Compton de Acton, eran los más frecuentes de los órganos del teatro en el Reino Unido, algunos 261 fueron instalados cines y los teatros en las islas británicas.

Uno del ma's noteable está en las "Pipes in the Peaks" , en la aldea de Thorpe en Derbyshire. Durante la era silenciosa de la película y en entre los años 30 tempranos, los órganos del teatro fueron construidos en números grandes, en una variedad de tamaños, y llenaron el boquete un acompañamiento simple del piano y una orquesta llena. De hecho, iguale cuando los dueños del teatro emplearon a orquestas para acompañar películas silenciosas, ellas generalmente también utilizó un órgano para proporcionar la relevación a la orquesta, y al juego para las demostraciones menos-costosas.

Concerts at The Church of the Epiphany, Lymer Road, Oxley.
(just off the A449 Wolverhampton - Stafford Rd)
featuring the Compton Organ formerly installed at the Windsor Theatre, Bearwood.
Tuesday 31st October 2006 - Steve Tovey & Cameron Lloyd. Doors 1.30 pm for 2.00pm start
Tuesday 28th November 2006 - David Ivory and Wolverhampton Orpheus Male Voice Choir.
Doors 1.30pm for 2.00pm start.
Admission £3.50 ..... All proceeds to Church Funds.
Contact Steve Tovey on 07931 830 019 for more details.
The Church is on several major bus routes from the City Centre and Railway Station.
The Compton Organ was originally installed at the New Windsor Theatre, Bearwood, Birmingham in 1930 and was opened by Reginald Maynard.
Originally, the specification read: Tibia Clausa, Clarinet, Vox Humana, Tuba, Diapason, Flute, Cello and Double String plus the usual traps, tonal percussions and effects.
On removal from the cinema in 1960, it was re-built and installed at The Church of the Epiphany, Lymer Road in Oxley near Wolverhampton. The percussions and effects were removed. The String section was reduced to Viole and Viole Celeste and the Vox Humana was removed. This made the specification; Tibia Clausa, Clarinet, Tuba, Diapason, Flute, Viole and Viole Celeste which is how it stands today. Tremulants were kept on the Flute, Viole and Celeste and a separate one in the Solo chamber on the Clarinet. The pipework was installed in two narrow chambers behind the Altar and speaks out through two shutters on either side. The grills can be seen in the photograph above.
In the early 1990's four theatre organ concerts were presented featuring, amongst others, Doreen Chadwick. A tremulant was fitted to the Tibia at this time but was later removed.
In early 2004, Steve Tovey approached the Church to see if the organ was still in use. Unfortunately, the organ was in a bad state of repair after the organ builders ceased to trade. No funds were available, so the organ became unreliable. The generator had broken and so the action was struggling on a 12 volt car battery. Steve Tovey and Cameron Lloyd have spent many hours on the organ to bring it back into use, tuning, repairing and generally giving the 'old girl' some much needed TLC! The bass section of the Diapason (Diaphone) had long been disconncted due to a split leather inside the chest. This has now been rectified. A loaned Compton tremulant is installed on the Tibia rank for theatre concerts but is removed afterwards.

GRANADA
TOOTING WURLITZER
The most famous of Granada`s broadcasting theatre organs, although still playable, has not been heard by the general public for many years.
It does however remain safely entombed beneath the floor of the Gala Bingo Club.
Following years of negotiation, the UK chapter of The American Theatre Organ Society and the Cinema Theatre Association has received agreement in principal from the management of Gala Bingo for the current stage area to be reformed.
The objectives are:-
to allow the Wurlitzer console to rise again - for the sound of the organ to be projected into the theatre - and of course, for spectacular concerts by international stars.
The project has been budgeted at £ 40,000 and the Gala organisation, who operate the building, are prepared to allow work to proceed with the aid of funding from the private sector.
Further information on how you can help with this is available from ;
El más famoso de los órganos del teatro de Granada`s que difundían, aunque aún es playable, no ha sido oído por el público en general por muchos años.
Sin embargo permanece con seguridad entombed debajo del piso del club del bingo de la gala.
Después de años de la negociación, el capítulo BRITÁNICO de la sociedad americana del órgano del teatro y la asociación del teatro del cine ha recibido el acuerdo en principal de la gerencia del bingo de la gala para que el área actual de la etapa sea reformada.
Los objetivos son:-
para permitir que la consola de Wurlitzer se levante otra vez - para el sonido del órgano que se proyectará en el teatro - y por supuesto, para los conciertos espectaculares por las estrellas internacionales.
El proyecto se ha presupuestado en el £ 40.000 y la organización de la gala, que funciona el edificio, está preparada para permitir que el trabajo proceda con la ayuda del financiamiento del sector privado.
