Notes
2021-02-16 - Stanton Hall, near Nottingham, 2/9 (H). An untouched, but
unplayable, instrument lying neglected in a comparatively small house
which is now an old people's home. Most of the organ is under the
stairs, with pedal pipes disguised behind panelling nearby. The client
here was the electrical engineer C.R. Crompton, of Crompton-Parkinson
Electric Motors and British Organ Blowers fame. One wonders whether
British Organ Blowers was founded in response to problems related to
this residence organ. -- Roll-Operated Player Pipe Organ Census, Rowland Lee, Mechannical Music Digest Archives, 12 Oct 2010; accessed 16 Feb 2021.
The house is on the real estte market and closed. The organ was removed to storage by Carl Heslop for relocation to a private residence in the North of England. -Paul R. Marchesano
