138 DICTIONARY OF ORGAN STOPS. Double Rohrflutes with chimneys to the lowest note are exceedingly rare, nor, indeed, does any material advantage accrue from piercing the stoppers of such large pipes. A stopped double, with the stoppers of the upper notes pierced, is sometimes named Rohr-Bordun. M. D£bierre, of Nantes, however, makes a speciality of compact organs, in which he produces two or three low notes from one pipe. The author has in his possession one of these Polyphone Pipes, made by M. Ddbierre. It was presented to him by his friend, Mr. J. C. Casavant, the celebrated Canadian organ builder, of St. Hyacinthe, Quebec. The pipe is a closed one, with the stopper in the usual position at the top. But down the front of the pipe extends a rectangular wooden chimney, with the end, reaching nearly down to the mouth, unclosed. This chimney opens, of course, into the main pipe, at the top. In it are bored two orifices, one on each side, at set distances apart. The said holes are covered by a circular pallet or disc, carried on the arm of a motor bellows. The lowest note of the pipe is that given by the pipe with both of these holes closed. The next note, a semitone higher, is obtained by admitting wind to the motor, which uncovers the hole lowest on the side of the chimney. The highest note, a semitone sharper than the last, is obtained by admitting wind to the other motor. Thus, to obtain one or other of the alternative notes, it is only necessary, simultaneously with the admission of wind to the pipe, to allow it to pass into a channel connected with the interior of •one of the motors. The pipe is provided with a beard, in the form of a fender, shading the mouth. Requiring, as it does, mechanism of the simplest character only, it will be evident that in this device we have a fruitful source of economy. Rohr-Gedeckt—See Rohrflote. Rohr-Nasat—A Twelfth of Rohrflote pipes. Rohrschelle—(Ger.) Rohr = reed; Schelle = bell. See Hohlschelle. Roller—See Beard. Rossignol—(Fr.) = nightingale. See Avicinium. " Rustic "—This name occurs in some of the specifications given in Hopkins' and Rimbault's treatise. See Bauerflote. s. Sackbut—32 ft. The name was applied to the 32 ft. reed in the organ at York Minster {Hill, 1833). Though the first reed stop of that pitch to be introduced into an English organ, it was not removed until the recent reconstruction of that instrument (Walker, 1903). The Biblical Sackbut was a variety of harp of Oriental origin. The derivation of Sackbut is obscure. Webster
Salicional .(rollered), with double mitre. DICTIONARY OF ORGAN STOPS. 139 suggests (Spanish) sdcar = to draw out, buche = maw, crop or stomach. Sacarbuche, that which exhausts the stomach. Skeat, in endorsing this derivation, quotes the old French term sacquer = to draw out hastily. Sadt—The specification of an organ drawn up by "Father" Smith for the Temple Church con- tained the following item: "A Sadt of Mettle 61 pipes, 06 foote tone." The Sadt was a variety of Gemshorn. Salicinal—A corruption of Salicional. Salamine—8 ft. ; 4 ft. The Salamine is said to be a stop in tone midway between a Dulciana and a Salicional, and extremely soft. A specimen was introduced by Messrs. Forster & Andrews into their organ at All Souls', Halifax. It was arranged to beat with the Vox Angelica. The effect of the combined stops was supposed to be suggestive of the distant effect of the waves beating on the shore of the Island of Salamis ! The Salamine would, therefore, seem to have been merely an Echo Dulciana bearing a somewhat poetical appellation. The organ referred to was recently rebuilt by Messrs. Norman & Beard. To Mr. Herbert Norman the author is indebted for the following particulars of the Salamine :—Tenor C compass ; T. C. pipe, diameter, i|- in. ; width of mouth, if in. ; cut up f in. The stop is scaled to the 17th note throughout (i.e., the diameter halves on the 17th semitone), and speaks on a pressure of only i-| in. The name Salamine was also used by Meyer, of Hanover, at the Market Church, and St. John, Hanover. Salicional — Salicet (Ger.) also Salizional and (archaic) Weidenflote. (Lat.) Salix; (Ger.) Weide = willow. The name still survives in the " sally-willy," a rustic title for willow. See Chalumeau. 16 ft.; 8 ft.; 4 ft. ; abroad very rarely 2 ft. The Salicional is represented by stops of diverse character. In Germany it is a somewhat horny-toned string stop, bearded and, like the Gamba, formerly of dilatory speech. In France, it is sometimes made as a quiet Diapason of very cantabile tone. There is a very beautiful stop of this type at Derby Road Chapel, Nottingham (Conacher), voiced by the late M. Rheinburg, a distinguished voicer of the firm of Cavaille"- Coll. In England the Salicional is virtually a Dulciana with —
