Book Description
During the 19th century, Boston and its vicinity became a major center for the building of pipe organs. The firm of E. & G.G. Hook was founded in 1827 by Elias Hook (1805-1881) and George G. Hook (1807-1880), sons of a Salem cabinetmaker, and later known as Hook & Hastings after Francis H. Hastings (1836- 1916) became a partner in 1871. It had the distinction of eventually becoming not only the longest lasting but also the most prolific among a worthy group of Boston organ builders during every period of its existence.
