DICTIONARY OF ORGAN STOPS. 57<br />
made (e.g., by Corapton, Binns), tapering but little. Messrs. Norman<br />
& Beard's Corno Flute furnishes likewise a good illustration <strong>of</strong> this<br />
class <strong>of</strong> tone produced from cylindrical pipes. It is generally believed<br />
that the Flauto Dolce was introduced into this country by Schulze.<br />
Mr. Smith, <strong>of</strong> the well-known firm <strong>of</strong> Messrs. Abbott & Smith, <strong>of</strong><br />
Leeds, once informed the author that a Dolce with inverted conical<br />
pipes was introduced at Chesterfield Parish Church by Snetzler. The<br />
Dolce forms an excellent 8 ft. pedal Flute in small <strong>organ</strong>s, superior in<br />
effect to the ordinary Bourdon extension. As a pedal Flute it may be<br />
heard at Holy Trinity, Upper Tooting ; Battersea Polytechnic (Beale<br />
& Thynne, voiced by Whiteley). At St. Katherine's Convent, Queen's<br />
Square, W., the late Mr. Thynne inserted a 16 ft. Dolce <strong>of</strong> exquisite<br />
tone. On account <strong>of</strong> limitation <strong>of</strong> space the lowest few pipes are<br />
stopped. . The manner in which the " meet," or transition from open,<br />
to stopped work, is manipulated, is marvellous ; very gradually, as they<br />
descend in pitch, the pipes begin to lose their " bloom." Indeed some<br />
difficulty is experienced in determining the exact location <strong>of</strong> the break.<br />
Doncaster Parish Church (Schulze) ; St. Stephen, Wandsworth (White-<br />
ley). Chamber <strong>Organ</strong>, Oulton Rocks, Staffs, (and several other <strong>organ</strong>sby<br />
Binns); Hucknall Torkard Parish Church, Notts. (Musson &<br />
Compton) ; Mr. Armitage's Chamber <strong>Organ</strong>, Nottingham ; Cantley<br />
Church, Doncaster ; Emmanuel Church, Leicester ; St. Mary, Westwood.<br />
(with Frein Harmonique), (Compton). Scales:—A Dolce by Binns,.<br />
measured at T.C, 3 in. in diameter at the top <strong>of</strong> the pipe, 2 in. at<br />
the mouth. Below this note the stop is frequently carried down in.<br />
closed pipes. An example at Emmanuel Church, Leicester, by Comp-<br />
ton, made throughout <strong>of</strong> open pipes, measured at CC 4 in. at the top,.<br />
3 in. at the mouth; at T.C, 2% in. at the top, if in. at the mouth.<br />
(3) The name Dolce is sometimes employed to designate a Swell<br />
Bourdon borrowed as a pedal stop. It has also been applied by<br />
Messrs. Brindley & Foster to the Swell Rohrflote, borrowed according;<br />
to that firm's "metechotic" system, as a Great <strong>organ</strong> stop (Wesleyan.<br />
Church, West Leigh).<br />
Dolciano— 8 ft. Either (1) Dolce; (2) Clarabella; (3) Dulciaa<br />
