Audsley wrote numerous magazine, articles on the organ, and as early as the 1880s was, envisioning huge instruments with numerous divisions each under, separate expression, in imitation of the symphony orchestra., The Los Angeles Art Organ Co. (successors to the Murray M., Harris Organ Company) had Audsley design the world's largest, organ they were building for the St. Louis Exposition of 1904,, and included him on the paid staff. This instrument was, produced just as his book on The Art of Organ-Building was, being published This great pipe organ eventually was purchased, for the John Wanamaker Store in Philadelphia, PA, where it is, today known as the Wanamaker Organ. In 1905, Audsley published, the monumental two-volume The Art of Organ Building as an, attempt to position himself as the pre-eminent organ designer, in the US. The lavish work includes numerous superb drawings, done by Audsley and is still consulted today although organ, fashions have evolved in many directions in the ever-fluid,, passion-driven world of music. He was an early advocate of, console standardization and radiating concave pedal keyboards, to accommodate the natural movement of human legs.
