CHOIR ORGAN:
16’ Erzähler Hybrid voice that sounds one octave lower than the 8’.
8’ Holzgedackt Large sounding stopped flute.
8’ Erzähler Hybrid stop that combines the tonal characteristics of
the string and flute families, resulting in a small-scale
Gemshorn. Useful accompaniment voice.
8’ Erzähler Celéste To be used in combination with the Erzähler 8’ to create
a warm accompaniment celéste.
4’ Prinzipal Bright classical Principal voice.
4’ Koppleflöte An open metal flute. Primarily a voice to be used in
combination with other voices. Not too bright, not too
dull; good for Baroque as well as modern Flute tone.
4’ Erzähler Celéste II Two gentile hybrid tones, one tuned slightly sharp from
the other to create a warm celéste.
2’ Oktav An open metal stop that produces foundation tone at the
2’ pitch.
1-1/3’ Quintflöte Open flute mutation that causes the pitch to sound a
nineteenth (two octaves and a fifth) higher than played.
Used with 8’ stops or flute ensembles.
Zimbel III Three rank mixture made from foundation tones.
16’ Rankett A nasal-sounding reed stop of considerable harmonic
development. The Rankett carries very little fundamental
and adds character both as a solo and ensemble stop.
