The Reed Stops - Rodgers Deseret 115 Owner's Manual

In the pipe organ, the above families, collectively
called "flue-stops" (Principals, Flutes, and Strings) are
sounds derived in pipes by a vibrating column of air which
is set in motion by a wind stream blowing across the upper
lips of the pipe much like the simple whistle.
THE REED STOPS
Pipe organ reed stops are activated by the striking
vibrations of a brass reed tongue against a slotted brass
tube, called a "shallot". The .resulting sounds are quali-
fied in pitch and tone by variably shaped resonators situ-
ated above the tongue assembly.
Solo reeds are best used in a single melodic line and
are often of an imitative orchestral nature. Chorus reeds
blend well to complete full ensembles.
The 8' Trornpette in the Swell Division and the 16'
Fagotto in the Pedal Division are the chorus reeds of the
Deseret 115. They add the fire to the total ensemble that
the brass section adds to the orchestra.
The Swell 8' Trompette is very useful as a solo stop.
The 8' Oboe is a solo stop of an orchestral nature, voiced
softer than the Trompette. The 8' Krummhorn (Great) is both
"
useful for solo purposes and in combination, and the Pedal
16' Fagotto is used for the Full Pedal •
