tremolo) which helps attain very realistic orchestral string
section sounds. The Celeste sound is found on Italian instru-
ments dating back to the late 1500's. It is most frequently
called for in Romantic and Contemporary literature.
The String family stops on the 700 Series organs are the
8' Viola Pomposa, 8' Gambe and 8' Gemshorn (a hybrid String-
Flute stop). The Jamestown 725 also has an 8' Voix Celeste II
and an 8' Gambe Celeste II. The Scarborough 750 has an 8' Voix
Celeste II and an 8' Flute Celeste II.
THE REED FAMILY (Jamestown 725 and Scarborough 750)
The Reed family is the most colorful of all the organ
families, and is subdivided into two divisions: Chorus Reeds
and Solo Reeds. Chorus Reeds are generally of a Trumpet quality,
and are located in the Swell Division. Solo Reeds can be placed
on any manual. The Jamestown 725 and the Scarborough 750 have
Chorus Reeds on the Swell (Trompette, Oboe) and if the "Reeds ff"
stop tab is on, the Reeds take on Solo Reed character. On the
Scarborough 750 there is also a Chorus Reed (Fagotto) in the
Pedal.
PERCUSSIONS (Scarborough 750)
The Percussions found on the Scarborough 750 are the Harp
and Carillon. Both of these voices are independent of all other
voices. The Harp and Carillon both have independent volume
and sustain length controls.
