Description
The story of Bevington & Sons, Victorian Organ Builders, is one of four generations of the Bevington family who built and sold over 2,000 pipe organs between 1794 and 1950. Generously illustrated with many facts and figures, this revised edition includes a comprehensive database for over 1,300 instruments, past and present. The book offers a unique blend of genealogical research and social context, exploring the business and personal lives of the Bevington family during their time in Soho, London. With its rich history and unexpected connections to notable figures like Florence Nightingale and Charles Dickens, this book is an absorbing companion to more technical works on organ building. Every Bevington organ has a story to tell, and this book brings together many of these vignettes, providing a fascinating glimpse into the lives of those who built and played some of the world's most iconic instruments.
