| CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Organ (6026 words) |
| From the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries the names of a large number of organ-builders are transmitted to us, showing organ-building was in a flourishing condition, but the Puritans destroyed most organs, and organ-builders almost disappeared. |
| When organ-building was taken up again, in 1660, there was a scarcity of competent builders, and Bernard Schmidt, with his two nephews Gerard and Bernard, came over from Germany. |
| Bernard the elder was commonly known as Father Smith, to distinguish him from his nephew. |
