organ stop
An organ stop is a component of a pipe organ that controls the flow of air to a set of pipes, thereby producing a specific sound or tone. Each stop corresponds to a particular rank (set) of pipes, allowing the organist to shape the music by selecting different combinations of stops. The name "stop" comes from the idea that the organist can "stop" the flow of air to certain pipes to control the instrument's sound.
Wikidata
Organ stop
An organ stop is a component of a pipe organ that admits pressurized air to a set of organ pipes. Its name comes from the fact that stops can be used selectively by the organist; some can be "on", while others can be "off". The term can also refer to the control that operates this mechanism, commonly called a stop tab, stop knob, or drawknob. The term is also sometimes used as a synonym for register, referring to rank of pipes controlled by a single stop. Registration is the art of combining stops.
