Description
John W. Landon, himself a theatre pipe organist, has written the first history of the theatre pipe organ.
He traces its development from church organ to a theatrical instrument that took the place of a piano.
Landon also discusses the pipe organ's later emergence as a solo instrument, its use in radio broadcasting and phonograph records, and its present uses.
The book also includes a history of those companies that built theatre organs and biographical sketches of some of the leading theatre organists.
The appendixes list theatre organ installations around the world.
