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 b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
