Introduction:
This booklet is intended to aid in planning for the installation of a pipe organ. It answers questions often asked regarding basic components, placement of the organ, and technical requirements. We encourage establishing a dialogue between architect and organ builder. This communication from the earliest stages is vital to the success of the project. Any high quality organ builder will be glad to assist in the design phases.
