Product Description
Product Description
The organ has unique characteristics that bind it more closely than any other instrument to its location, to social and economic changes, and to fluctuations in musical taste. In this volume, Orpha Ochse provides descriptions and specifications of instruments representative of the various periods of organ building. She shows how the design is affected by the intended use of the organ and by the music written for it.

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The History of the Organ in the United States (Paperback)
This book gives a detailed description of the organ history in the US. There were a lot of facts that I haven't heard of before (like the German organ-building tradition through the Moravian Brothers). But do not expect glossy color prints in this book; it is - in the reviewer's opinion - not for the organ enthusiast's coffee table, it is a well-written reference.
