Organ-stops and their artistic registration : names, forms, construction, tonalities, and offices in scientific combination . i > -1- i i-4l2NCHCS Fig. 4 the adjustment of the hollowed cap,—in which is formed the wind-way,—slightlybelow the lower lip of the mouth. Both these treatments have an influence on thetonality of the pipes. In Diagram C is given a Front View of the lower portion ofthe pipe showing the German mouth. Scale.—The scale of the Bourdon—pedal or manual—is amatter of considerable importance, as it affects both the power andtonality of the stop, and, accordingly, its value in combination andregistration. It should be dictated by the general character of theOrgan, and specially with regard to the tonality of the other stopsof the division in which it is placed. It would seem, from the manyexamples we have examined, that this matter has not been fullyconsidered by the builders of many Organs. Inordinate scales arenot uncommon. The Bourdon, in its normal form, varies greatlyin scale, chiefly because it is inserted in both the pedal and manualdepartments of the Organ, and in its diff
