organology


organology is not, as you might expect, the study of organs–either human or pipe–but rather, the study and cl-ssification of musical instruments in general, which just doesn’t make any godd-mned sense. why isn’t it called “instrumentology?” it is a field that musicologist usually enter when they can’t even hack their own field, so that in the hierarchy of music it is sort of like second viola in a string quartet.

organologusts, only a step above musical iconographers (q.v.), have to resort to the study of the forms, history, and cl-ssification of the instruments that real musicians get to play and that real scholars get to write about.
