"Most Pennsylvania Germans came from a continental culture in which an organ was taken for granted as a support to a congregation's worship ... Organ building was a highly skilled vocation in the lands these Europeans left - Germany and Switzerland - and composing and playing a related highly developed art ... Demand for instruments was met by a variety of chiefly self-taught artisans whose accomplishments were remarkable, as the few surviving instruments shows." - dust jacket description.
