The Soundboard of the Church Organ - A Selection of Classic Articles on the Design and Construction of Church Organs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781447454458)

This book contains a selection of classic articles on the subject of church organs, focusing on their design and construction. They look in detail at historical manufacturers and designers, and provide detailed descriptions as to their inner workings and machinations. Contents include: "The Modern British Organ - A Theoretical and Practical Treatise on the Tone and Mechanism of the King of Instruments", "Modern Organ Building - Practical Explanation and Description of Organ Construction with Especial Regard to Pneumatic Action and Chapters on Tuning, Voicing, Etc.", and "The Organ - It's History and Construction: A Comprehensive Treatise on the Structure and Capabilities of the Organ". 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.
