Extract

My attention was recently drawn to this subject in designing a small organ of three manuals, which has been built for me by Messrs. Gray and Davison. After the organ was so far completed that the design could not be altered, my attention was drawn to certain Resolutions and Recommendations put forward by the College of Organists. These have the most desirable object of securing uniformity in the arrangements under consideration. They differ in many essential points from the arrangements I have adopted, and, considering the great authority with which they come to us, I have, with some diffidence, desired to secure a little further discussion of some of the points at issue, that we may consider whether the Resolutions and Recommendations in question may not be susceptible of some amendment.
