Music: Size Matters

Created by Prof. James H. Cook of Birmingham-Southern College, this site is an interactive tutorial on the king of instruments. The Organ and How it Works is a primer on organ components, such as keyboards, consoles, pipes, chests, cases, and chambers. Organ History goes back to the invention of the first organ, the ktseibios, built by a Greek engineer working in the third century BC. Geographical Tour is a chronology of the organ and its evolution in various locales, including England, France, Germany, Italy and the US. <http://panther.bsc.edu/~jhcook/OrgHist/begin.htm>
