Excerpt from Brief Biographies
He was totally destitute of a musical ear, and could not dis tinguish one note from another. But he accepted the offer. He studied the philosophical theory of music, and found that science would be a substitute for his want of ear. He commenced by building a small organ for Dr. Black, and then roceeded to the large one. He was always, he said, dissatisfied hot with other people 8 work and his own, and this habit of his mind made him study to imiprove upon whatever came before him. Thus in the process of bu iding his organ he devised a number of noval expedients, such as indicators and regulators of the strength of the blast, with various contrivances for improving the efficiency of the stops. The qualities of the organ when finished are said to have e cited the surprise and admi ration of musicians, He seems at one period to have been almost as much a maker of musical as of mathematical instruments. He constructed and repaired guitars, flutes, and violins, and had the same success as with his organ.
