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
