04 DICTIONARY OF ORGAN STOPS.<br />
Inverted Mouth, Pipes -witli.<br />
The mouth <strong>of</strong> a flue pipe is said to be inverted when the qhamfering or<br />
bevelling <strong>of</strong> the upper lip, instead <strong>of</strong> being executed on the outside <strong>of</strong> the<br />
pipe as ordinarily, is on the inside, the outer face remaining level. The<br />
Vienna Flute furnishes a good instance <strong>of</strong> the use <strong>of</strong> the inverted lip, the<br />
mouth having the appearance <strong>of</strong> a simple circular orifice, partially covered,<br />
perhaps, by the cap. Inverted mouths are frequently applied to Flute<br />
<strong>stops</strong>. Generally speaking, the tone <strong>of</strong> pipes so treated partakes more <strong>of</strong><br />
the orchestral imitative quality than that <strong>of</strong> pipes with the ordinary<br />
pattern <strong>of</strong> mouth. The distinctive attack or "piff " accompanying the<br />
speech <strong>of</strong> pipes with the inverted mouth, even though disguised as skilfully<br />
as possible, soon becomes wearisome. On this account, inverted mouths<br />
are better eschewed so far as unison Flutes constantly in use, such as<br />
Great <strong>organ</strong> Clarabellas, Hohlfiutes, and Waldflutes, are concerned (see<br />
Waldflotk). The same objection does not apply so forcefully to octave<br />
Flute <strong>stops</strong>. For illustrations, see Flauto Traverso.<br />
JEU— (Fr.) = Stop.<br />
Jeux d'Anches = Reeds. Jeux de Fond = Foundation <strong>stops</strong>.<br />
J,<br />
JUBALFLOTE—Jubal. Jubal, "the father <strong>of</strong> all such as handle the<br />
harp and <strong>organ</strong>."—Genesis iv. 21. 8 ft. ; 4 ft. ; 2 ft.<br />
A Doppelflote <strong>of</strong> some power; usually <strong>of</strong> open pipes. St. Paul,<br />
Frankfurt (Walcker, 1833). During the recent rebuild <strong>of</strong> this <strong>organ</strong>, in<br />
1899, a mistake occurred in the "tubing" <strong>of</strong> the Tibia and the Jubalflote,<br />
the result being that the Jubalflote is now controlled by the stop labelled<br />
Tibia.<br />
Jula—An 8 ft., or Quint, Gemshorn. Also a corruption <strong>of</strong> Jubalflote.<br />
Jungfern-Regal—See Regal.<br />
Kalber-Regal—See Regal.<br />
K,<br />
Kalliope—In classical mythology Kalliope was the Muse <strong>of</strong> epic poetry.<br />
Applied to an <strong>organ</strong> stop, the name is particularly unfortunate,<br />
serving as the word does in America to designate steam <strong>organ</strong>s<br />
sometimes employed at fairs, and the steam whistles used on board<br />
ship. 8 ft. ; 4 ft.<br />
The Kalliope, which was invented by Mr. Hope-Jones, was composed<br />
<strong>of</strong> stopped pipes <strong>of</strong> exceedingly large scale. The tone was hollow and
