"Waldkirch Street and Fairground Organs",
  by Herbert Juettemann
  English revision, translated and expanded from
  "Waldkircher Dreh- und Jahrmarkt-Orgeln"

After three years preparation, Dr. Herbert Juettemann's excellent book
about German mechanical organs, "Waldkircher Dreh- und Jahrmarkt-Orgeln",
has now been translated into English by Andrew Pilmer, under the title
of "Waldkirch Street and Fairground Organs".

The book gives, in its first part, a detailed technical insight into
organs built in the famous Black Forest town of Waldkirch, including
pipework, actions, wind chests, register changing, percussion, bellows,
roll-playing actions and so on.  The second part of the book studies
each of the various firms active there, and discusses their products,
peculiarities, scales and dispositions.

A special section in full colour illustrates 49 Waldkirch-built organs,
and the whole text includes over 330 drawings and black and white
photographs.  A valuable appendix gives the scales of many fairground
and concert organ-types built in the town, and one chapter deals with
the typical music played by these instruments in Germany.

With the co-operation of Dr. Juettemann, the original German text
has been completely revised, and a number of new drawings have been
specially prepared for this new edition.  The format has also been
slightly enlarged to 238 mm by 170 mm, giving greater clarity to some
of the line drawings than before.  Printed on quality art paper, hard
bound and with a full colour dust jacket, the book consists of 300
pages.
