Talk:Organ stop
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There should be a reference to the phrase "Pull out all the stops" in this article. What would the correct heading for this be? AtomSmith 08:57, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
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)
When I clicked on "Celeste" it took me to a porn star!
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)
[edit] Merge to Pipe organ?
Hi.
I don't think that this page says anything that isn't documented in Pipe organ. I am proposing that it is merged into Pipe organ which has reached WP:GA status, unless this page is updated and expanded. Personally I don't feel that it is worth saving this article as most of the information is now duplicate or redundant.

The pipe organ article is already pretty long as it is. Would it be possible to take out some of the information on the pipe organ page about stops, and simply link to this article for further information? - SuperOctave - 26 November 2006
