"The Recent Revolution in Organ Building" by George Laing Miller is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work provides a comprehensive analysis of the advancements and developments in organ construction, with a focus on the modern changes introduced over the last fifty years. The book delves into technical details and provides insights useful for organists, builders, and church decision-makers considering the installation or refurbishment of pipe organs.
