Notes on Church Organs (Classic Reprint): Their Position and the Materials Used in Their Construction: Their Position and the Materials Used in Their Construction (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes on Church Organs
In such a case, the spare slides should be placed and pierced, and the bellows made of adequate size, so that all may be prepared for the insertion of pipes when funds are available. Unless this preparation is carried out in the first instance, the instrument can never be efficiently added to, except at great expense. Should the instrument be too small for the building, or if it has been badly placed, the organ builder will often try to gain compensation for real want of power, by making the wind pressure heavier. Under such conditions the tone will sound forced, harsh, and unpleasantly loud, to those who are close; but, after all, it will fail to carry to the extremities of the building.
