"The Console and Mechanism of the Church Organ" is a vintage article on church organs, focusing on how they are designed and built. With detailed descriptions of their inner workings coupled with precise and clear diagrams, this volume is not to be missed by those with an interest in traditional organs and their manufacture. Contents include: "Manuals", "Pedals", "Electric Pneumatic Chest", "Double Touch Piston", "Willis-Infinite-Speed-and-Graduation Swell Pedal", "Triple Motor Exhaust Action", "Tubular-Pneumatic Touch-Box", "Level Pneumatic Action", "Roller Board", "Drawstop Action", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of the organ.
