Although Vogler's stay in Prague was relatively short, there are nevertheless many things to write about this time. Being employed as a professor at a renowned university is something, that most of the people who got in such a position have for their lifetime. So it's not very common that Vogler didn't stay in this position, but just left after only one year. On the one hand, it's understandable, because Vogler lived rarely one year solely in one town and therefore this one year in Prague is already an unusual long time for him. On the other hand there's the question, what Vogler planned, when he came to Prague and wanted to have an employment as professor. Maybe he really wanted to settle down as pensioner for a longer time? Or should this professorship at the renowned Charles University of Prague only be another honouring in his collection? For the fact, that Vogler wanted to settle down in Prague, there's also the argument, that he organised the costly transport of his Orchestrion to Prague and afterwards let it build for a longer time in a hall, which he also needed to have rebuilt. In the end, as a resolution of failed concerts, an organ modification with many negative critics and empty lectures, Vogler left Prague. He was an innovative organ and music theorist, but too much, so that he sometimes totally worked without any empirical values. Such a characteristic and the fact, that he travelled big distances and areas, makes him one of the most interesting persons of european music history.

No warrants are required nowadays for the need to preserve ancient organs. However, to have the preservating operations carried out in a proper manner it seems necessary that a number of quite specific features be taken into account which are characteristic for these objects. Considering the problem from a general viewpoint it may be stated that organs are built up of a housing, usually having form of an artistically shaped and decorated prospect, which the unit should be subjected to preservating operations carried out on principles normally applied in similar works covering other historical monuments present in the church nave, of the instrument itself composed of three mechanisms, namely wind- -chest, sound-emitting unit together with its equipment, and, finally the console. As a rule the preservation of such an instrument aimed at preserving both its purely artistical and musical qualities, and original construction should be carried out by an experienced and skilled organ- -builder under a strict supervision by special staff of experts. To gather possibly full information with regard to actual stock of monuments belonging to that category and also to define the extent of preservation requirements a detailed inventory should be prepared using ad hoc prepared blanks the particular columns of which are discussed in detail by the author.
