Standard Organ Building

219 pp. "This valuable text-book treats of the essential principles upon which good organ building should be founded, and is based upon facts adduced from practical experience and observation up to the present date. During an important era of a varied musical career, the author was the proprietor of an extensive organ manufactory where every detail of construction passed under his constant inspection. From this careful supervision the vital principles of organ building are inculcated in this book as authoritative, free from narrow prejudices and speculative theories."
