ROCHFORD/KINGSWAY ORGAN SPECIFICATION
John Compton Organ Company 1936
Number A337
The organ is a 6 rank plus melotone instrument. It is installed in two chambers, one above the other. The lower chamber contains the Diapason, Violin and flute ranks. The upper chamber contains the Tibia, Tuba, Trumpet and the Melotone loudspeaker horn. The Console was originally on a lift in the cinema but is now on a wheeled platform that enables us to position the console anywhere on the stage. It also has an illuminated surround lit internally by coloured lamps controlled by a modern cyclical dimmer unit.
