To inject a "serious" question here (and I know I should know the answer) but if one has a Harmonics mixture (10ths, flat 21sts etc) does one add it after the reeds, or with them? Presumably not as the "top" of a diapason chorus?

 

After chorus reeds of the "closed toned" kind, also Tromba 16-8-4. Like

the Grand Cornet goes with Trompettes and Clairons to form the "Grand jeu";

the principle is the same.

There are a few more stop names lurking out there as forum members, or languishing if you prefer:

 

Octave dolce, Octave, Dulciana, Clarabella, Fiffaro, Sousbasse and Waldhorn.

 

At a pinch, Stieglitz might be included in the absence of a Rossignol. Although just exactly what sound a goldfinch makes (yes, I had to look it up) and whether any organ music requests it in place of a nightingale, is another matter.

[Vox Humana 0]

Although just exactly what sound a goldfinch makes ... is another matter.

It has a high, tinkly song, like little, tinny bells - a sort of avian cymbelstern, I suppose.

Added (and nazard) to the OP.

 

Apologies to all I overlooked - there were over 1000 registered member names to trawl...

Isn't there someone called Harmonics V (or whatever) ?

 

And can we include Chamades on account of PCND5584?

 

Mais oui, M'sieur. A good organ will always have a nice Chamade - and no Dulciana, naturally....

 

[Guest Echo Gamba]

Mais oui, M'sieur. A good organ will always have a nice Chamade - and no Dulciana, naturally....

 

 

Would a Dulciana en Chamade have more impact?

[Guest Echo Gamba]

Mais oui, M'sieur. A good organ will always have a nice Chamade - and no Dulciana, naturally....

 

 

And, er, does a certain instrument with a Chamade still have a Swell Viola masquerading as a Dulciana.........??

I noticed in the process that we don't seem to have an Open Wood as a contributor, so I'm adding it as a surname to my signature!

No - although we are still waiting for one drawstop to be re-engraved. I have updated the entry in the NPOR; it should now be correct.
