158 DICTIONARY OF ORGAN STOPS. of amelioration. The late Mr. Henry Willis in 1853 patented a form of Tremulant, the speed of which was capable of modification according to the degree of depression of a pedal. Mr. Casson in 1889 introduced another variety, yclept "Vibrato," a silent Tremulant of delicate beat, varying its speed according to the position of the Swell louvres (Omagh, Ireland). The artistic value of this device cannot be overrated. The dead beat of a Tremulant running at one speed tends to ruin the effect of a slow and impressive smorzando—especially on a dull-toned stop, such as a Gedeckt or Harmonic Flute. The Austin Organ Co., of Hartford, U.S.A., employ a " Fan Tremolo," somewhat similar to that employed in American suction organs. It consists of a double-bladed fan suspended over the pipes, and is driven by four motors coupled in pairs and actuated by the pipe wind. The effect of this Fan Tremulant is musical and pleasing, the sound waves being acted upon after generation. The beat is less pronounced in the bass, and does not partake of the heavy sledgehammer thump which so rapidly becomes wearisome to the ear (See Bockschwebung). There is an example at the Baptist Church, Rushden, Northampton. Mr. Willis sometimes secured very satisfactory results merely by the employment of a large free-reed inserted in the wind-chest. Most modern Tremulants are so constructed that their speed is adjustable from within the organ. The Vox Humana requires a Tremulant of rapid beat a Vibrato, in fact—but in the case of most other stops, whether flue or reed, one of less rapid pulsation is ordinarily conducive to superior results. Of course, those good folks obsessed by the idie fixe of rigidly austere and orthodox " legitimate " organ music, those who will brook no such sacrilege as an "orchestral transcription," regarding the organ as a mere mechanical machine for the grinding out of stoichiometrically accurate counterpoint, find themselves unable to tolerate the imbecile mock-pathos of the Tremulant. At the risk of incurring the ridicule of these puristic Hobbites, let it here be suggested that a well equipped organ might profitably include two varieties of Tremulant, one of the vibrato or fan type, and one of powerful, slow pulsation. (See remarks under Viole d'Orchestre). That stops under the influence of the Tremulant should never systematically be combined with those not so affected is an injunction, the wisdom of which is self-evident. Tremulants frequently have the undesirable defect of unduly disturbing the pitch of the stops they affect. On arresting the action of the Tremulant, it will be found that the pitch of such a stop as the Vox Humana (the pipes of which exercise but little control over the tongues), for instance, will sometimes have been deflected to the extent of nearly a quarter of a tone. This fault may probably be attributed to the very powerful springs often attached to Tremulants. Difficulty is sometimes experienced in inducing Tremulants to act, when the organ reservoirs are of the single-rib —

Trichter-Regal—See Regal. Trigesima-prima— (Lat.) = thirty-first. Trigesima-sexta—(Lat.) = thirty-sixth. Trigesima-tertia—(Lat.) = thirty-third. Found in old Italian organs. Trinona—8 ft. ; 4 ft. A sweet and soft-toned Gamba. A specimen made of wood occurs at St. Vincent, Breslau. Tripletfe—A III rank Mixture. The name was formerly used by Messrs. Bevington in the same manner as Doublette has been employed by French builders. An example existed in the Apollonicon at the erstwhile Royal Colosseum, London. Troixitoa—For derivation see Tuba. 8 ft. ; also 16 ft. A powerful Trumpet of smooth, full tone, in contradistinction to the Posaune, which is a powerful Trumpet of rather " free '' tone. The Tromba is akin to the Tuba Minor. There is an excellent example at All Saints' Church, Notting Hill, W. (Norman & Beard). Included in his MS. collection of scales, the author finds the following particulars of a Pedal Tromba (flue), 16 ft., made by Schulze. Wood pipes of inverted' conical shape:—CCC pipe, 16 ft. long, and 5 in. x 5 in.; top of pipe, 7^ in. x 7-| in. Made of f in. "stuff" planed to \ in. at top. Pipes slotted, and fitted with roller, and bevelled cap ; mouth cut up \. Tromba Bastarda—A "crashing" Trumpet of the Posaune type. Bastarda is a piece of ordnance. See below. Tromba Batalla—A ringing, clear-toned Trumpet. Battle Trumpet. See below. Tromba Campana—A Waldhorn (g.v.) of reed pipes. See below. Tromba Real— i.e., Tromba Regal = Royal Trumpet (of grand tone), or a Trumpet akin to the ancient Regal. Examples of Trumpet stops bearing these titles occurred in the former organs at Seville Cathedral. There was probably little distinction between the tone of these registers. It is said that the reeds found in most Spanish •organs are of excruciatingly blatant tone. * This type of reservoir is much to be preferred to the customary weighted variety. The springs respond instantaneously to the slight demand for wind, whereas a weighted reservoir disturbs the wind supply by reason of the inertia of the weights. Provided that a ventil preventing the upper board of the reservoir from too large a travel is inserted, it will be found that the inward fold of the rib will compensate for the increased tension of the springs-
