9 8 DICTIONARY OF ORGAN STOPS. Lieblich Gedeckt—Lieblich Gedackt. See Gedeckt, Rohrflote, Cone Gedackt 8 ft. ; also 1 6 ft.; 4 ft.; rarely 2 ft. Lieblich Gedeckt (metal), with wood stopper. For 16 ft. and 4 ft. varieties see Lieblich Bordun and Lieblich Flote, respectively. A 2 ft. instance, stopped to the top note occurs on the Choir organ at Rip'on Cathe- dral (Lewis, rebuilt by Hill). The Lieblich Gedeckt is of quieter, brighter and less thick tone than the Gedeckt or so-called Stopped Diapason. It was introduced into this country in Schulze's 1851 Exhibition organ, and the beautiful, mellow quality of its tone caused a great sensation at the time. The stop was quickly raised to perfection by Willis and Lewis. At the present day it is used by all English builders, but in too many cases the pristine purity of its tone has disappeared, and a dis- agreeable "commercial" standard of Lieblich has sprung into existence. The name is, in England, sometimes applied to stops of wood, though it is now usually made of metal, with pierced wooden stoppers lined with cork (as introduced by Willis). In Germany stopped metal pipes are still provided with the sliding " canister " tops illustrated under " Rohrflote.'' Metal Gedeckts are generally continued by wood basses. In the Hope-Jones organs, however, the Lieblich Gedeckt basses are almost invariably of metal. The subjoined are good scales for a Choir organ Lieblich Gedeckt : C C, 3j in., cut up i-g- in. Mid.

Lleno seis renglones = Mixture VI ranks. Locatio—An ancient name for Mixture. (Lat.) = a letting or lease. Loculatus, however, = a box or chest of drawers with a number of small distinct divisions. Perhaps some affinity is traceable, as the latter word aptly describes the soundboard arrangements of a Mixture stop. The name may, however, be related to (Lat.) loqui = to speak.

These names are also sometimes applied to pedal stops of 32 ft. pitch. See Double Diapason. The principal Pedal organ stop, commonly known as Open Diapason. It would seem scarcely accurate to apply this name to a stop which so frequently is what the Rev. Sir Frederick Ouseley termed, "a huge toneless Clarabella." When the GG organs were converted to the CC compass, one set of huge scaled wooden " Pedal Pipes " was expected to do duty alike for loud and soft combinations. With the previous extended compass, manual stops had each possessed a bass on the manual itself, and the alteration should, therefore, have been attended by a corresponding transference of such manual basses to the pedal. Apparently, however, the esoteric principles underlying the change were never really grasped, the ultimate result being that the organ was deprived of its sympathetic basses. There is a stop of the kind under notice at St. Barnabas' Cathedral (R.C.), Nottingham (Gray & Davison), the CCC pipe measuring internally no less than 17 in. x 15 in. The marvellous progress the art of organ building in this country has, of recent years, made, has been accompanied by a truer appreciation of the function of the Pedal organ. The provision of a larger number of pedal stops, soft as well as loud, has been in no small measure due to the efforts of Mr. Thomas Casson. English builders as a whole, in comparison to the Germans, do not seem to excel in their treatment of pedal stops. The modern Major Bass is a stop to which little care and attention is devoted, and which consequently is, as a rule, disappointing in effect, being windy in the bass and unduly hard in the treble. In organs of moderate size a somewhat stringy Major Bass or a Violon will probably be found more useful and effective than the heavier type of tone sometimes affected. Irregularity of tone in a Major Bass is
