Talk:Organ stop
From Academic Kids
I tried to describe the mechanics of organ stops the best way I could think of, without making the description excessively long and detailed. If anyone can think of a better way to describe what happens when a stop is opened or closed, please feel free to change what I added.

"Open" and "stopped" pipe actually usually refers to an uncapped or capped resonator, the former being twice as long as the latter for same pitch. And that belongs on a page about pipe construction...Kwantus 00:12, 2004 Dec 10 (UTC)
In ignorance of this article I created stop (pipe organ) which will now need to be merged with this one. While I guess either name will do, I've never heard of a stop described as an organ stop, any more than I've heard of a rank of pipes described as an organ rank. Organ pipe, yes, but not organ stop. Other thoughts?
I've also now created a "grenade" (terminating) project to look at such things, and I've been adding articles to the existing category:pipe organ to help keep them in order after the project terminates. Andrewa 02:42, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
