Paperback Edition: The latest publication in OHS PressÕs Monographs in American Organ History is Orpha OchseÕs definitive study, Schoenstein & Co. Organs. This work takes up where Louis SchoensteinÕs Memoirs of a San Francisco Organ Builder leaves off: with the sale of the firm to Jack Bethards in 1977, and documents the last 30 years of the company known for overseeing the renovation of the Mormon Tabernacle organ and building the130-rank organ for the Latter-Day Saints Conference Center in Salt Lake City. A testament to the imagination and foresight of the companyÕs president, Jack Bethards, Dr. OchseÕs book describes in detail his many special designs for special situations including his tonal concept of symphonic organs, double expression, the French Choir Organ, and the Òmultum in parvo.Ó An easy read for organ enthusiasts as well as organbuilders, Schoenstein & Co. Organs includes 41 high quality illustrations and the stoplists of 23 organs
