FAMILY

(reduced

diameter) Principals that

are

decreased

in

volume

and

have

a brighter timbre.

Strings

are

most useful

as

accompanimental stops

since

they

are

subtle.

and

with their

abundance

of harmonics (natural

overtones)

each

note

of

the

most

complex

chord

can

be

heard

with distinction.

create

the

"orchestral sound" of multiple identical instruments

playing at

a

section

of violins.

Celeste

sound

is

useful

for enriching

Flute

and

String

tones.

is

never

used

with

two

Celeste

stops

which

engage

as

an

accompaniment texture.
