Summary "Practical Organ Building" by W. E. Dickson is a comprehensive guide on the construction of organs written in the late 19th century. The book aims to provide an accessible treatise for readers of various skill levels, detailing the necessary materials, tools, and techniques for building this complex musical instrument. Dickson draws on his own experiences and covers both the theoretical and practical aspects of organ-building, appealing to beginners and seasoned artisans alike. The opening of the work introduces the author's purpose and the context behind his motivation for writing the treatise. Dickson establishes the lack of practical, detailed resources available for aspiring organ builders, noting how existing works often overlook essential mechanics in their explanations. He recognizes the need for accessible instructions and supplies groundwork for beginner organ builders by emphasizing the importance of patience and the use of quality materials. The author immediately sets the scene for what readers can expect—the first chapter begins with a discussion on the tools and materials needed in the workshop for constructing a simple yet effective organ.
