Reading Between the Stops

I bought A Pianist's Guide to Playing the Organ not because I intend to play the organ, but out of curiosity as I have always been fascinated by the instrument. And, after reading David’s post explaining how his solar-powered organ works, I wanted to know more. I must say, the book turned out to be a captivating read.
