Organology is not, as you might expect, the study of organs--either human or pipe--but rather, the study and classification of musical instruments in general, which just doesn't make any [goddamned] 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 classification of the instruments [that real] musicians get to play and [that real] scholars get to write about.
