| | From the website of the International Organ Foundation: Specifications of 5,766 organs in 67 countries [29 October 2008]. 'For each organ in the catalogue, as much information as possible is collected, not just stop lists. This information includes all the technical details possible, including wind pressures, pipe scaling, materials, action, etc. For existing instruments, especially historic ones, this often means gaining access to the organ and taking measurements. This is very time-consuming and it is proving very difficult to find suitably qualified people to do it, especially as, due to lack of funds, the IOF has to rely entirely on volunteer help. For new or recently-built instruments, organ builders themselves are asked to provide the relevant information ... The IOF is interested in cataloguing all pipe organs (including theater organs) and is not interested only in historic organs (hopefully, today's new organ will one day be historic). Neither does it pass any sort of judgement as to whether an organ is "good" or "bad" or "interesting" or "boring". We also include organs that have disappeared, for historical interest.' |

The information which has been incorporated in the data base derives not only from the analysis of magazines and books, but is particularly based on detailed studies of archive materials. Therefore, the organ data base complies with the highest scientific standards.' |
