Position of accessories

The above examples show that the position of the accessories may vary quite a bit.
In order to create more space for the speaking stops (Monarke models "Van Rhijn",
"Gothique", "Positief" and "Van Eyck") certain accessories such as couplers and tremulants
may be designed as pistons, which are located under the keyboards.

Order of Stops

The order of stops for each division is established on the basis of certain standards. For
instance, an order of stops can be opted for which places the so-called labial stops (flues,
prestants etc.) with the greatest footage (32' or 16') at the bottom and the stops with the
smaller footage on top of them.
Over the labial stops are the mixture (compound) stops (Mixture, Scharff, Cornet, etc.) and
above these again the reeds (Trumpet, Oboe, Schalmey etc.).
The couplers are then located under the speaking stops of the division concerned, whereas
the tremulant is usually to be found over the speaking stops of the division in question.
When there are more than two (vertical) rows of stops, the labial stops of one family are
put together in one row as much as possible. Some families are: principals, flues and
strings.
We try, as much as possible, to position stops with the same footage (from bottom to top)
from loud to soft (principal-flute-string).
It is not always possible to realize an order of stops which, often also within a limited size
of stop consoles, meets all the standards described above. However, we work towards
applying the standards as much as possible.
