Art of organ Building Vol 2,
By Odin "Odin728707" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Art of Organ Building - Volume 2 (Paperback)
If you want to know about organ building then this book together with volume 1 is a must have. The writing style is rather opinionated and overbearing but, if you can get past that then, this is a fascinating book. Bearing in mind that this was written a long time ago and some of its then current information is now historical.

Everything the amateur pipe organ builder should know.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Art of Organ Building - Volume 2 (Paperback)
Although this book does not cover the organ revival of the 50's and 60's, it has much to offer the amateur organ builder. From simple ancient organ designs to the more famous organs such as the one at St. Bavos this book will cover much of it. The few things this book does not cover to a great extent is the voicing process, and recent technology (post 20's) but it offers enough to educate the already knowledgeable amateur, but not reccomended for someone that doesn't know a little about pipe organs.
