About the Book

A fantastically detailed survey of barrel-organs and their whereabouts commencing with the history of church barrel-organs and their mechanisms.  A long list follows of the many tunes (both religious and secular) they played.  An equally long list of makers precedes a thorough gazetteer by county of extant and previously recorded church barrel-organs with Sussex having the most.  A  list of barrel-organs in private and public collections follows.  The volume ends with a gazetteer of extant church band instruments such bassoons, clarinets and, in several instances, serpents.  Twenty-eight b&w plates accompany the text.  Hardback.  120 pages.  Published in a limited edition of 1000 copies.  Good clean condition with no inscriptions or library markings.  Cat No 4413
