Letter from Ernest M. Skinner to Henry Willis

  • Letters

Mr. Henry Willis
c/ o Henry Willis & Sons, Ltd.
Rotunda Organ Works,
234 Ferndale Road,
Brixton, London, S.W.9, England.

My dear Henry:

I would appreciate a line from you telling what width mouth you use on Diapasons as a general rule. If you have three Diapasons on the Great, how would you mug it? I would also like to know what you would use on the Swell. What is your conventional Great organ wind pressure?

Have you given up using the pocketed shallot that your father gave me for use on Tubas and Trombones?

Very sincerely yours,
Ernest M. Skinner
