Organ-isms : anecdotes from the world of the king of instruments

More than 120 men and women from around the world - from world-famous concert artists to Sunday church organists, organ builders and organ music lovers - tell of the trials and triumphs of playing what can be the most difficult instrument in the world. Whimsical, often poignant and frequently funny, these tales prove there is nothing 'organised' or routine about the lives they lead. A unique and absorbing collection of stories, these have been gathered by Jenny Setchell, herself an organist and former senior journalist with the Christchurch Press.
