Book Description
First published in 1947, The Modern British Organ is a detailed guide to the inner workings of organs, including descriptions and explanations of every part and component. With many photographs and helpful diagrams, this volume is highly recommended for readers with an interest in organ construction, and it is not to be missed by collectors of related literature. Contents include: The Pipes of the Organ, The Diapasons, The Strings, The Flutes, The Reeds, The Pedal Organ, Octaves and Mutations, Orchestral and Imitative Tones, Tonal Architecture, Voicing and Finishing, Tuning, The Pipeless Organ, Console and Mechanism, Soundboards and Chests, The Source of Supply, 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.
