This is the other Gellerman book I would recommend organ restorers and readers to buy besides the Reed Organ Atlas by the same author. This has good chapters on major makes of reed organs as well as a good chapter on restoring a reed organ.

The American Reed Organ is one of the finest books dealing with the antique free reed instrument! It goes into detail about the instrument's history and how the reed organ was a part of the American culture in the later 1800's! The book reviews the main manufacturing companies that built and also goies into a photo archive of reed organs! For the colector and the restorer, it is a book to be had! The book is full of information also including the construction and tuning of reed organs! This book in the furture will be a very sought after book being Vestal Press no longer exists!
This is a great book - the essential book for the reed organ hobbyist!
