Buck, Dudley
Organ (Musical instrument) -- History
Many years of travel and research were necessary to make the
production of this work possible. The author, in addition, has most
painstakingly searched mediæval literature and the records of
contemporary art for references to and descriptions of the
instruments dealt with, and it is believed that the account here
given of them is as complete as it is possible to make it.
The book is most generously illustrated and carefully indexed by
the editor. No pains have been spared to secure drawings or
photographs of practically every type mentioned.
