Concert halls and assembly halls in public buildings in America are
now being furnished with organs of this type and an immense number of
people derive æsthetic enjoyment from these instruments. Moreover,
astute theatrical managers have seized on this favorite kind of
entertainment and are featuring organs in the theatre. There is no
settled form of theatre scheme, but the process of evolution is going
on, and worthy instruments are being constructed for this purpose.
Unfortunately this development has resulted in the construction
of numerous hybrid instruments. The bewildering possibilities of
duplication have led to the installation of concert instruments with no
independent pedal foundation and with additional manuals which, instead
of preserving their own character, control only a rearrangement of
stops already perfectly accessible. The tendency to let mere mechanism
replace independent tones is most flagrantly displayed in this class of
instruments.
