4.0 out of 5 stars
Very nice overall. Very to the point if dated.,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Build a Small Two Manual Chamber Pipe Organ (Paperback)
Contains very good information on how to build a chamber pipe organ with tracker action. There are 10 foldout 18 x 20 drawings that come with the book that detail everything from pipe types, manuals, casework, windchests etc.. It's very tough to describe how to build wood pipes and the drawings don't give enough info for this purpose. Even his other descriptions are hard to grasp without firsthand knowledge or good photos. Overall great book for anyone considering a project like this.

Excellent, if you can get through the 'ancient' language,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Build a Small Two Manual Chamber Pipe Organ (Paperback)
Detailed enough to build an organ; especially everything but the pipes. These can be purchased new or used if one gets them on the same wind pressure. The the furnature maker, its a worthy challenge [for someone who has only the pipes and cares not a little about the rest]. A real companion to Mark Wicks excellent book all for the same reasons.

This review is from: How to Build a Small Two Manual Chamber Pipe Organ (Paperback)
I purchased and read this book back in the late 1970's while in high school. I have since then anticipated building a pipe organ. This book gives detailed and practical advice on all aspects of building a small tracker action pipe organ. The materials and some of the terms are quite dated. I do not think the section on the building of pipes would be practical to most hobbyists, but the information on the building of the chests, framework, tracker action, and cabinet is fantastic. Another interesting similar book is "Organbuilding for Amateurs" by Mark Wicks in which the author describes a method of making pipes out of paper.
