Tone and Registration.—The Doppelflote, when proper-ly scaled and artistically voiced,yields a singularly full and pureunimitative flute-tone, havingmore filling-up power and bettermixing quality than any otherunison covered stop of mediumpower in the Organ. It is especi-ally this mixing quality that givesthe stop its great value in refinedregistration. Owing to the rarityof the stop, organists have few opportunities of learning its import-ance in tonal coloring. But having a beautiful Doppelflote in ourown Organ, and having carefully observed the use made of it in regis-tration by a large number of distinguished English, French, and Ameri-can Organists, during a period of eight years, supplemented by ourown studies, we have been able to learn the great value of the stop. Fig- 13 104 ORGAN-STOPS as, perhaps, no other man has done. The Doppelflote is speciallyeffective in combination with the softer-toned lingual stops of allclasses, imparting to their voices firmness and fullness, and in somecases considerable richness, without injuring their characteristictonalities. In this direction, however, the Doppelrohrgedeckt orDoppelrohrflote may be preferred (q. v.). DOPPELFLOTENB ASS, Ger.—A medium-scaled covered woodstop of 16 ft. pitch, formed with double mouths. This stop, whichfurnishes the true bass to the Doppelflote, 8 ft., has its properplace in the Pedal Organ, where its full and smooth fluty voiceis of great value for accompaniment and in combination with thelingual stops. A fine example of this uncommon stop exists inthe Second Pedal Organ of Schulzes important instrument in theMarienkirche, at Lubeck. It is described thu
