For over half a century, The Art of Organ Building has stood out as the standard treatise in the field of pipe organ construction. This second of two volumes delves deeply into construction particulars and includes chapters on the swell in the organ, manual claviers and couplers, draw-stop action, various materials and modes of construction, and much more. Each procedure is clearly illustrated, and the text is supplemented by various tables and exact specifications. Despite some changes in the field since 1905, this book remains definitive. It contains a wealth of invaluable knowledge that cannot be found in any other source and is one of the most sought-after works in musical literature.
