I'm puzzled by the stop-jamb photograph at the foot of the page. Can someone please explain why the stop numbers are engraved so much larger than the names or footages?

==================

 

 

Thanks Pierre.

 

I'm not quite sure what Rieger-Kloss are up to these days, or even what keeps them afloat, but during the commi years, they were certainly kept very busy.

 

I know that they're also making quality guitars these days.

 

Like many well-established companies from the region, I suspect that privatisation and self-sufficiency has taken its toll and created a number of headaches.

 

What an opus list however!

It's just a bit of a part-time larff mate.

 

I could well imagine Nigel Kennedy doing much the same thing.

 

Completely off-topic, but I bet you didn't know that a truck full of prawns is worth more than a medium-size organ, and that if you filled one with boxes of disposable razor-blades, it would cost less to drive the organ at the Albert Hall and crash that?

I'd feel a bit cut up about it either way.

Rieger-Kloss goes very well.

When the firm was privatised, a "management buy-out" happened,

that is, the firm was taken over by its employees and managers.

They work mainly in Asia and the United States, the big markets

of today.

Excellent reply - informative as ever.

 

Keep up the good work.

Although numbers are usually used to save time when writing registration details in a copy, 69 is a lot quicker to write than Solo Tuba Clarion for instance, I can't think why they are so large. If there wasn't a decent capture system and there were lots of visiting recitalists one could almost see why, but there seems to be a comprehensive capture system. I don't think much to the stop layout - whatever happened to stops ascending in pitch, with the loudest of each pitch being at the bottom?

I wonder what the blank stops do?
