Dear Listmembers,
I am presently reading Audsley's "Art of Organ-Building." I am interested
to know to what extent his views are considered:
 
a) controversial
b) idiosyncratic
c) out-of-date
d) still highly worthy of copnsideration
 
I'm thinking particularly of his ideas re. the inclusion of string tone
choruses, and his ideas about the voicing of the diapason chorus.
 
Also, is there a later book that covers the same sort of ground, but is
reflective of more recent approaches to organ building, a sort of modern
version of Audsley?
 
Any and all opinions, long or short, on this topic are eagerly wished for.
