96 DICTIONARY OF ORGAN STOPS. Kerophone— (Gr.). icipae = horn ; wvri = voice. In the organ at the Colston Hall, Bristol (Norman & Beard, 1905), occur three stops named Kerophone, Harp ^Eolone and Saxophone, re- spectively. These stops are composed of free reeds, of 8 ft. pitch, with very broad tongues and no pipes. They are under the control of an expression device (Gale's patent), whereby every shade of power can be instantly obtained, either for accenting a single note or a whole chord. These stops add considerably to the " wood-wind " resources of this organ. A patent tuning device enables them to be rapidly tuned KINURA—(Gr.) Kivvpa. Akin to the Hebrew " Kinnor " (Harp) mentioned in Genesis iv. 21. The Kinura was a harp with ten strings. 8 ft. Invented by Mr. Hope-Jones. The original experiments in the con- struction of this stop were conducted with cylindrical brass tubes continued through the block and forming the shallot or reed. They were made of brass tubing, with a long " flat " filed through a considerable part of one side. On to this was soldered a brass plate, against a slit in which the tongue was seated. In other cases this shallot extended about one-third the distance up into the reed tube. The bore at middle C was about J in. diameter; but the tongues were so thin that it was practically impossible to complete the compass. Eventually the stop was made like the Oboe, or of small-scaled half-length tubes, pierced at the top and surmounted by an adjustable hood-shaped lid. The tone of the Kinura is not impressive. It has variously been described as resembling a badly voiced Hall, Edin- • Oboe, a " bee in a bottle," or even a concertina ! McEwan burgh ; Aberdeen University ; Heaton Parish Church, Bradford ; Hoylake Church, Birkenhead ; Kinnoull Parish Church, Perth (Hope-Jones). KLARINETTE— (Ger.) = Clarinet. KLEIN— (Ger.) = Small. A prefix indicating octave pitch. Thus, Klein Terz = Octave Tierce. Sometimes, however, the prefix signifies " small-scaled." Klein-Gedackt is used in both these senses—in the latter sense as opposed to Stark-Gedackt and Mittel-Gedackt. Klein-Regal—See Regal. Klingel (Ger.) = bell. A bell communicating, as a signal, with the blower. Knopf-Regal—See Regal. KONTRA— (Ger.). See Contra. Kontrabass—See Contrabass. Kopf-Regal—See Regal. Koppel— See Coppel.
RRUMMHORN—See Clarinet. DICTIONARY OF ORGAN STOPS. 97 Kurzeflbte— (Ger.) Kurz = short. Akin to the Zwergpfeife (dwarf-pipe) or Piccolo. Kuzialflote—Kutzialflote. 4 ft.; 2 ft.; r ft.; and Mutation. An open wood Flute of bright tone. The pipes were of small scale. St. Dominico, Prague. Kreuzkirche, Dresden, i-J- ft. L. Largior—An ancient name for the Schwiegel. LARIGOT—Octave Twelfth, Super-octave Quint, Nineteenth, 1^ ft. A Mixture rank speaking at the interval of a Nineteenth above the unison. Formerly, like most Mixture ranks, it drew as a separate stop. The Larigot was often of very shrill tone, the pipes having wide mouths. Leathered Lip, Pipes -with. The process of " leathering " is a process of treating flue pipes ex- tensively employed in modern organ building. The modus operandi is simple. It merely entails the fixing of a strip of leather to the upper lip of a metal or wood pipe by means of " Seccotine " or liquid glue, the leather being doubled round, and rising to one side of the lip about i\ in. or 2 in. in the case of fair sized pipes. The process affords a simple means of procuring a solid, thick, and smooth lip, and it must not be supposed that the leather per se is responsible for the improved results obtained. Such treatment imparts an unrivalled fullness and pervading quality to the tone, without necessarily rendering it flutey or dull. The method is exceptionally valuable as a means of increasing the efficiency of old pipes, though, needless to add, it requires considerable care and discrimination in application. Diapasons, Flutes, and a certain type of Quintaton can be voiced to advantage with leathered lips. The author has heard even old Geigen Principals rehabilitated by this treatment, when it has been desired to increase their body of tone. See also Diapason (section 6) and Tibia. Liebesgeige— (Ger.) d'Amour. Liebe = love; Geige = Violin. See Viole Lietolicli—(Ger.) = lovely. A prefix betokening softness and sweetness of tone. Lielblich Bordun—Lieblich Bourdon (sic). 16 ft. A small-scaled, soft-toned Bourdon usually in the Swell organ. It is sometimes found on the Pedal organ, maybe borrowed from the Swell. Lietolicll JFlute— (Ger.) Lieblich Flote. 4 ft, An octave Lieblich Gedackt.
