Dallams Travels with an Organ to the Grand Signieur

Dallams Travels with an Organ to the Grand Signieur

Journey back to 1599, as we follow the extraordinary tale of Thomas Dallam, a master organ builder on an extraordinary mission from Queen Elizabeth the First. Assigned to construct and deliver a majestic 16 foot high mechanical organ to the Grand Signieur in Constantinople, Dallams adventure was a fascinating mix of diplomacy, trade, and intrigue. The organ, a marvel of its time, was topped with a silver holly bush housing mechanical blackbirds and thrushes that sang and fluttered their wings. Dallams narrative also offers a rare glimpse into the exotic world of the Grand Turks harem, a sight that he found wondrous well. His diary, filled with humor, adventure, and ingenuity, provides a compelling and enjoyable listen. - Summary by Sue Anderson
