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.
