Re: Organ Repair
Here is one to start: Audsley: The Art of Organ-Building. Audsley is rather verbose but if you can get through it you will have some good information.</P>
Something you must do in addition to reading: work with an organ technician. There is a lot more to it than can be found in a book.</P>

Send some resumes, CV, and the like to the different American firms like Wicks, Fisk, Schantz, Schoenstein or to European firms like Klais, Sauer, Oberlinger, Rieger. What would really help is if you attended an organ building school. Here the most well-known one:</p>
