Présentation de l'éditeur
From the PREFACE:
"Standard Organ Building" is presented as a text-book by which Church Authorities may be aided in negotiating for the purchase of an organ, and is suggestive of important items to be considered in connection therewith.
It treats of the essential principles upon which good organ building is founded, but does not give the formulated details which would serve as guides for an amateur to construct his own instrument.
Diagrams of the interior mechanism are omitted because each Organ Company have their own methods of producing results, and furnish descriptive catalogues advocating their special claims in connection with artistic illustrations of case designs. Such progress is being made in improved appliances, that the drawings contained in quite recent books on organ construction are comparatively obsolete.
"Standard Organ Building" is based upon practical experience and observation, and is concisely written, omitting the history and description of past methods, and treating of the organ as developed up to the present date.
At the present degree of development, the more reputable Church Organ Builders have their firmest advocates among the most experienced and conservative organists in England and the United States. By conservative organists, in this connection, are meant those who have long tested the best methods of structure, voicing, and mechanical appliances for the interpretation of the highest class of organ music, and who adhere to those principles which are of permanent value, without being empirical.
Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
