Peculiarities of Stopped Pipes, Humming-tops, and other Varieties of Organ-pipes

Abstract

THE peculiarities of a stopped organ-pipe as compared with an open organ-pipe are many and suggestive, and are of the utmost importance to the investigator both to know and to interpret. Without entering deeply into the principles of the craft of organ-building, there are certain matters of fact very necessary to be known before the full bearing of a theory can be estimated or its consistency be judged with true understanding.
