DICTIONARY OF ORGAN STOPa. 67<br />
Examples are very common in Spain, * where such pipes are <strong>of</strong>ten made<br />
<strong>of</strong> brass. The first Fan Tubas in this country were inserted at York<br />
Minster (Hill) in 1844, having been presented by Hudson, "the Railway<br />
King." They were removed in the recent rebuild (1902-3). Examples<br />
exist at All Saints, Margaret Street, VV. (1858); Manchester Town Hall<br />
(Cavaille'-Coll) ; and (inside <strong>of</strong> the case) at Albert Hall, Sheffield<br />
(Cavaille-Coll).<br />
Feldfldte—Feldpfeife. (Ger.) Feld = field. Either (1) Waldfiote;.<br />
(2) Schweizerpfeife.<br />
Feldhorn—(Ger.) Feld = field. See Waldhorn.<br />
Fern—(Ger.) = distant. Equivalent to "Echo."<br />
Fernflote—8 ft. See Echo<br />
May refer to any quiet flue stop <strong>of</strong> distant tone. Sometimes a variety<br />
<strong>of</strong> Gedackt, with a small hole in the side <strong>of</strong> the pipe near the top. At<br />
St. Mary, Tyne Dock (Schulze), a delicate Gemshorn 8 ft.<br />
Fernhorn—A cylindrical open metal stop, <strong>of</strong> large scale but small bore,<br />
at Washington Temple, U.S.A. (Kimball Co.). It is practically an<br />

quinta, Super-octave. 2 ft. (i.e., a 15th<br />
A super-octave Diapason, bearing the same relation to Principal 4 ft.<br />
as does the latter to Diapason 8 ft. The Fifteenth adds brightness to<br />
Diapason tone. Frequently it is voiced too powerful and shrill, especially<br />
in small <strong>organ</strong>s. In <strong>organ</strong>s <strong>of</strong> moderate dimensions a Harmonic Piccolo<br />
is probably alike more useful and effective. The name Super-octave is<br />
sometimes applied to a full-scaled powerful Fifteenth, as is Octave to a<br />
Principal <strong>of</strong> similar construction and quality.<br />
Fistula— (Lat.) = pipe. Fistula formerly denoted the Syrinx or Pan's<br />
pipes. (Lat.) Fistula Minima = smallest pipe = Flageolet.<br />
Fistula Salicis = willow pipe = Salicional.<br />
FlachflSte—(Ger.) Flach = flat, or shallow. 8 ft. ; 4 ft. ; occasionally<br />
2 ft. ; 1 ft.<br />
The name has its origin in the fact that the lips <strong>of</strong> the Flachflote are<br />
very broad. The pipes are shaped as the German Spill- or Spitzflote, the<br />
mouths being cut up high. The tone is sharp and thin. Monastic<br />
Church, Weingarten (Gabler, 1750); Haarlem (Miiller, 1738).<br />

fur Instrumentenbau," Leipsig, No. 19, 1903.
