Book Reviews of The Art of Organ Building: A Comprehensive Historical, Theoretical, and Practical Teatise on the Tonal Appointment and Mechanical Construction of Concert-Room, Church, and Chamber Organs, Vol. 1
Book Review: Dated, but still useful information in many areas
Summary: 4 Stars
The book is a complete treatise on the field of Organbuilding, albeit the information is a bit dated! The original copyright date was 1905!!! With that aside, there is still very useful information in regard to various mechanical actions, pipe building and mitering, well, everything relevant to organ building! There are some obvious mis-telling of the future, as for the very unlikely adoption of fan type blowers (now virtually universal) and the comdenation of unification!
Not a book for starters in organ building for sure, but with a basic grasp of apprentice level organbuilding skills, the book is informative. Be forwarned: George is willing to share an opinion or two! Highly recommended for somone wishing to learn about organ building practices in common use in the early part of the last century.
