32 DICTIONARY OF ORGAN STOPS.<br />
combinational stop, the Cornet is sometimes made to increase in the<br />
number <strong>of</strong> ranks in the treble. When so designed it serves to disguise<br />
the "breaks" in the other mutation work. This variety is <strong>of</strong>ten known<br />
as Progressio Harmonica, and sometimes as Compensation Mixture {q.v.).<br />
The name Cornet is now applied indiscriminately to any Mixture stop <strong>of</strong><br />
a goodly number <strong>of</strong> ranks.<br />
(2) Occasionally the Cornet is found as a reed, usually on the Pedal<br />
<strong>organ</strong>, and <strong>of</strong> 4 ft. or 2 ft. pitch. In such cases the tone resembles that<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Zink (q.v.). Also named Cornetin, Cornetto, or Cornettino.<br />
Konigsberg Cathedral, 8 ft. ; St. Ulrich, Magdeburg.<br />
Echo Cornet—A Mixture stop usually enclosed in a swell box.<br />
Generally what is known as a Dulciana Mixture.<br />
There is an excellent example <strong>of</strong> an Echo Cornet <strong>of</strong> VI ranks in the<br />

interest is expended thereon.<br />
Cornet-a-Pavillon— (Fr.) Pavilion = bell. 8 ft. See Clarinet.<br />
Cornettino—See Cornet, Zink.<br />
The name Cornettino has also been applied to a reedy-toned Fifteenth.<br />
Cornetto—See Cornet, Zink.<br />
Cornetto di Caccia— See Waldhorn.<br />
CORNO— (It.) Corno = Horn.<br />
The name is occasionally used for the Horn stop.<br />
Covno di Bassetto—See Clarinet, Basset Horn<br />
(Corno Basso).<br />
Corno Dolce— 8 ft. ; occasionally 16 ft.<br />
The Corno Dolce may be said to be a louder form <strong>of</strong> Flauto Dolce.<br />
It is constructed <strong>of</strong> Dolce-shaped pipes, wider at the top than at the<br />
bottom. Free Trade Hall, Manchester (Jardine) ; Rugby School Speech<br />
Room (Bryceson). The stop is made by Messrs. Andrews <strong>of</strong> Bradford.<br />
Sometimes, however, the Corno Dolce is shaped like the Flute Conique,<br />
and occasionally even resembles the Waldnote.<br />
Corno Flute-8 ft.<br />
(1) A reed stop, invented by Mr. William Hill. It possessed wooden<br />
tubes, and was <strong>of</strong> a quiet tone, resembling, somewhat, that <strong>of</strong> a modern<br />
Orchestral Oboe. An example still exists at St. Olave, Southwark. The<br />
stop being a reed, the selection <strong>of</strong> the name was scarcely happy. (2) A<br />
flue stop invented by Mr. Herbert Norman (Messrs. Norman & Beard).<br />
The tone, which resembles that <strong>of</strong> a Dolce or Flute d' Amour, is extremely
