5.0 out of 5 stars
Very helpful for pipe organ builders,
By DHRay "Dot's Thoughts" (SoCal, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Understanding The Pipe Organ: A Guide for Students, Teachers and Lovers of the Instrument (Paperback)
I purchased an old pipe organ built in 1922. It was completely disassembled and I didn't fully understand all the parts/pieces. I purchased several pipe organ books and Mr. Shannon's book was the best single-source for answering all my questions. It was informative, easy to read, and contained all the necessary drawings to understand functionality and use of the various components. I feel confident that I can now assemble and bring this beautiful organ back to life.

By J.M.Bullard ""CURMUDGEON"" (SPARTANBURG, SC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Understanding The Pipe Organ: A Guide for Students, Teachers and Lovers of the Instrument (Paperback)
SHANNON'S BOOK DEALS WITH EVERY ASPECT OF THE PIPE ORGAN: ITS COMPONENTS, MECHANISM, KEY AND STOP ACTIONS, ELECTRICS, PLACEMENT, PLUS HANDY ADVICE ON MAKING SIMPLE REPAIRS JUST BEFORE THE CHURCH SERVICE. THE AUTHOR WRITES ENGAGINGLY FROM A LIFETIME OF EXPERIENCE AS PLAYER, COMPOSER, BUILDER, & TEACHER. HIS METHOD IS PATIENT, CAREFUL, THOROUGH, AND AUTHORITATIVE. AN EXPERT, HE IS NEVER CONDESCENDING. THIS BOOK SHOULD BE ON THE CONSOLE OF EVERY ORGAN IN THE COUNTRY; IT WILL BE CHERISHED AND USED BY ALL SERIOUS LOVERS OF THE ORGAN,INCLUDING MUSIC COMMITTEEMEN. THE MOST USEFUL SUCH BOOK ON THE MARKET TODAY. MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. J.M.Bullard
