Acoustical curiosities of an American reed organ.
Thomas G. Muir · The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America · 2009
Free reed organs of the 19th and early 20th centuries have long provided interesting pursuits involving their acquisition, restoration, history and musicology, as well as performance, and for some—acoustical studies of the instruments. There is a preservation society with a journal, and the literature includes a treatise, books, and learned articles. Some acoustical curiosities of one such instrument are described, including stop types, reed spectra, waveforms, loudness, and intonation.
