Brindley & Foster was a pipe organ builder based in Sheffield who flourished between 1854 and 1939.〔Pipes & Actions. Laurence Elvin. 1995〕 ==Background== The business was established by Charles Brindley in 1854. He was joined by Albert Healey Foster in 1871 and the company acquired the name Brindley & Foster. Charles Brindley was born in Baslow in the early 1830s. He retired in 1887 and died in 1893.〔The Star, Guernsey. Tuesday 5 December 1893〕 Brindley was a follower of Edmund Schulze. He built solid instruments with powerful choruses using Vogler’s Simplification system. Pipes placed in chromatic order on the soundboards allowed for a simple and reliable key action and permitted similar stops to share the same bass, keeping both space and cost to a minimum. The Swell organ was often mounted above the Great in the German manner. After the partnership with Foster they began to manufacture more complex pneumatic mechanisms for stop combinations; he also concentrated on the production of orchestral effects. The business of Brindley and Foster was bought by Willis in 1939. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brindley & Foster」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
