a beautiful, handy, easy-to-read manual...the most useful and valuable guide to the organ to appear in any language in many years. It is hard to imagine a more thoroughly useful book than this; it should be placed in the hands of every conscientious organist and kept at the console of every organ in the country --The Diapason; will be useful --ARBA.
