The Tuning of Church Organs - A Selection of Classic Articles on the Methods and Materials of Organ MaintenancePaperback, 22 May 2012

"The Tuning of Church Organs" contains carefully-selected articles on the subject of church organs. These treatises deal with a range of subjects including design, construction, design, maintenance, technique, etc. Although old, the articles contain a wealth of timeless information and will be of considerable utility to those with a serious interest in the inner workings of organs. 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.
