Organ a Day e-bog

Mathias Peter Moller was the founder of the world's largest organ company, producing an organ a day. He also owned automobile companies, hotels, banks, railroads and power companies. An Organ a Day: The Enterprising Spirit ofMathias Peter Moller tells the story of his life and work. The book is neither a biography of Moller nor is it an exhaustive history of the company. Rather, it is a collection of related essays focusing on significant events in the life of this remarkable entrepreneur and his enterprises. Rich with previously undiscovered source material found in the Library and Archives of the Organ Historical Society, the book's 22 appendices contain the first-ever published complete Moller opus list arranged both chronologically and by region. There are also copies of Moller, Whitelegg, Felgemaker and Roosevelt organ patents; copies of tonal director Richard Whitelegg's pipe scales; stop lists of famous organs; dozens of factory and family photos and the astonishing diary written by Moller during his European tour of 1921. BYNUM PETTY, Archivist of the Organ Historical Society, has woven togetherthe story of this remarkable man and his wondrous enterprises. Petty's monograph promises to be a classic in the history of American organbuilding.
