HARMON 1A -(ETHERIA—Harmonica ^theria. •A delicate Mixture stop. It is generally made either as a soft Dulciana Mixture, or definitely of string-toned pipes. It is thus virtually identical with Echo-Cornet or Dulciana Cornet. Needless to say, any such stop, when properly tuned, is a mo'st useful adjunct to the organ. Stadthalle, Heidelberg (Voit). Harmonic Claribel-8 ft. A name introduced by Mr. Casson to designate a large-scaled Harmonic Flute of thick, full tone. The Willis Claribel Flute is usually a metal stop, of harmonic structure. There was also an example of the Harmonic Claribel in the Hope-Jones-Denman organ at Holy Trinity, Scarborough. There is an instance of the Harmonic Claribel, 8 ft., in the organ at the Colston Hall, Bristol (Norman & Beard, 1905). It is a wood Claribel Flute with inverted mouth, speaking on 20 in. wind. The stop, which is # of very large scale, is of double length from mid. C upwards HARMONIC DIAPASON—8 ft. A hybrid stop, which, as the outcome of an attempt to obtain powerful Diapason tone from pipes of harmonic construction, is virtually a very coarse-toned Harmonic Flute. The pipes are harmonic from fid. G., mid. C, E or F upwards, the bass being "tubby" in scale and tone. The Harmonic Diapason was a pioneer attempt to produce the " big " foun- dation tone so characteristic of the modern English organ. Now-a-days, to procure this desirable feature, we set to work in the opposite direction, endeavouring to secure weight and depth of tone rather than mere stentorophonic noise.
