The Art of Organ Voicing
(Based on traditional practices, L.G. Monette's guide to t...)
Based on traditional practices, L.G. Monette's guide to those organ building techniques which are related to the crucial process of voicing will provide much useful information for builders and organists alike. The techniques which he reports are firmly based in the advances in organ building and finishing of a quarter of a century ago - advances which are today often ignored, sometimes with unfortunate results for the quality of the instrument.
