Excerpt: ... dictionary of the organ A Accentcoppel. See Electro-pneumatic. Acoustic Phenomena. See Subbass. Acoustic Tones. See Quint. Acuta. See Sharp and Mixture. jiEoline derives its name from the iEolian Harp. (A charming description of this ancient instrument is to be found in Radau's Theory of Sound.) It is of soft, string-toned character, and is found in nearly all large as well as small new organs as an 8' solo stop. It is regarded as the softest of string-toned stops. It is met with in the Passau Cathedral organ as.Eolian Harp 4'. The pipes of the Eoline are properly of tin; but as the art of organ-building to-day is capable of making the transition from wood to metal imperceptible, the lower notes of this and of some other stops may be constructed of wood, especially where cost is a consideration, provided this is expressly stipulated for in the contract. Arbitrary changes in the materials should not, however, be tolerated. This stop is also met with, at times, as an 8' or 16' reed (see Topfer, Orgelbaukunst, vol. i., 180), either like the Physharmonica or surmounted by a small bell. I found in the large Cathedral organ at Riga (Walcker) an iElodicon 16', closely related to the Eoline, as a reed stop on the 2nd manual, and the above-described iEoline as a flue stop on the 4th manual. This stop is now found so frequently in this character, that it would be superfluous to cite further instances of its appearance. I found a 16' Eoline as a reed stop on the 3rd manual of the new organ at The Hague. The iEoline blends well with the Voix celeste (q.v.), which is tuned slightly sharper; also with the Wienerflote and Lieblich-Gedackt. One can advantageously add to this combination the more incisive character of a Flauto Traverso or of a...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of Organs and Organists Included also, are many special articles, written by trust worthy writers, and, as an addendum is the Organists Who's giving brief biographies of the leading Organists throughout the country. It can be claimed with sincerity, that such a collection has never before been issued, and is only done now with the help which we have received from the Organists and Organ builders, whose instruments are represented in the work. We have been at pains to make the lists, both of Organs and Organists thoroughly representative, and every endeavour has been made to secure full and accurate details for the publication. For the specifications and biographies, consent has been duly obtained, proofs submitted, and correction made. The issue of a book, ranging over so wide a field, necessarily absorbs a considerable amount of time, and we have to express some regret that, even before the pages leave the printers' hands, some few records, mainly of a personal character, are out of date. This was inevitable, but we think it well to mention the fact, believing our readers will judge of our efforts as a whole, and not condemn us because of unavoidable errors and omissions. We hope that the work will prove that the public appreciates the comprehensiveness and reliability of the publication, and take this opportunity of rendering our thanks to all who have in any way assisted in its compilation.
