John W. Landon, himself a theatre pipe organist, has written the
first history of the theatre pipe organ. He traces its development
from church organ to a theatrical instrument that took the place of
a piano. Landon also discusses the pipe organ's later emergence as
a solo instrument, its use in radio broadcasting and phonograph
records, and its present uses. The book also includes a history of
those companies that built theatre organs and biographical sketches
of some of the leading theatre organists. The appendixes list
theatre organ installations around the world.
