M.P. Möller was the largest organ company in the world and built more pipe organs than any other organ builder in history. Documenting such an enterprise is a formidable task that has been admirably achieved by Bynum Petty, the OHS’s former archivist. This revised and enlarged second edition of his original study of the company, An Organ a Day, traces its beginning in 1854 to its eventual sale in January,1993. A wealth of archival photographs illustrates every facet of the company, including its most important instruments. Many detailed stoplists of the largest organs, a transcript of M.P. Möller’s 1921 diary, and a complete catalogue of Möller Artiste player organ rolls are included. The last of 24 appendixes is a complete Geographical Index of the company’s 11,850 organs.

The written documentation of the restoration effort to save the magnificent Tannenberg organ in the Home Moravian Church in Salem, North Carolina, which was completed in 1800. The historical importance of Tannenberg's organ was recognized at the time of its dismantling, and it was not destroyed, but remained in storage in various locations for 88 years. Since its restoration, nearly 200 years of the organ's history have been deciphered and analyzed. With meticulous care and understanding, the organ has been returned to its original state, musically and visually, and now stands in Old Salem as a tribute to the talent and craftsmanship of a master organ builder, David Tannenberg, and the remarkable musical achievement he created in the North Carolina backcountry.
