An Organ a Day: The Enterprising Spirit of M. P. Moller (Complete Organ)

"Albeit a parlor reed organ, Mathias Peter Mèoller built his first instrument in 1875; and thirty years later, the largest pipe organ company in the world bore his name. In a period of sixty-two years he built an empire from nothing and died a very wealthy man. While much of his wealth came from phenomenal success in organbuilding, his fortunes were enhanced considerably by other activities. M. P. Mèoller was an extraordinary entrepreneur. This book is neither a biography of Mèoller nor is it an exhaustive history of the M. P. Mèoller Organ Company, the scope of this endeavor being intentionally limited to the lifetime of the company's founder. Rather, it is a collection of related essays focusing on significant events in the life of M. P. Mèoller and his enterprises. It is the hope of the author that this book will encourage others to complete the story of the world's largest organ company."
