DICTIONARY OF ORGAN STOPS. 75<br />

lips are arched. It is to be regretted that one rarely finds a specimen <strong>of</strong><br />

this class <strong>of</strong> stop in England. The French builders <strong>of</strong> repute use the<br />

Flute-a-Cheminee extensively. First introduced at Derby Road Chapel,<br />

Nottingham (Conacher, 1894).<br />

FLUTE D' AMOUR—See Flauto Amabile.<br />

FLUTE DOUCE—See Flauto Dolce.<br />

FLUTE FONDAMENTALE—(Fr.) Fondamentale = fundamental,<br />

i.e., foundation-supplying. 8 ft.<br />

A variety <strong>of</strong> Hohlflote used by Messrs. Brindley & Foster, <strong>of</strong> Sheffield.<br />

Flute Harmonique-See Harmonic Flute.<br />

Flute Magique—4 ft.<br />

An ordinary Flute, named after the Zauberflote. Strassburg Cathedral<br />

(formerly).<br />

FLUTE OCTAVIANTE—(Fr.) Octaviante = speaking the octave.<br />

8 ft. ; 4 ft.<br />

A variety <strong>of</strong> Harmonic Flute. The true Octaviante, very seldom met<br />

with, is said first to touch the ground tone and then leap into the octave.<br />

An example is said to exist at Washington Temple, U.S.A (Kimball Co.).<br />

But ordinarily, Flute Octaviante is merely an alternative name for Flute<br />

Harmonique.<br />

Flute Ouverte—(Fr.) Ouverte = open. 16 ft.; 8 ft.<br />

Merely a pedal open wood bass (Notre Dame, Paris) or the ordinary<br />

combinational Flute.<br />

FLUTE-PRINCIPAL—4 ft. ; also 8 ft<br />

A bright hard toned Flute, voiced usually, when ot 4 ft. pitch, to form<br />

a compromise between a Flute and a Principal when both cannot be<br />

provided (see also Solo).<br />

Flute-Traversiere-See Flauto Traverso.<br />

Fluttuan—16 ft. See Cor de Nuit. Neu Ruppin.<br />

Foundation Stops—Also Foundation Tone.<br />

Foundation is a term employed in contra-distinction to Mutation.<br />

Properly speaking, it includes all those <strong>stops</strong> the pipes <strong>of</strong> which speak a<br />

note corresponding to the key depressed, or one <strong>of</strong> its octaves. This will<br />

comprise double, unison, octave, super-octave <strong>stops</strong>, the Twenty- second,<br />

etc. Sometimes all <strong>stops</strong> speaking above unison pitch are inaccurately<br />

classified as Mutation <strong>stops</strong>. The term "Octave Foundation" would<br />

serve to draw a necessary distinction. The Foundation Tone <strong>of</strong> the<br />

<strong>organ</strong> practically comprises pedal Flues, manual Doubles, Diapasons (8 ft.)<br />

and Hahlfldte or Tibia— in fact the most dignified tone <strong>of</strong> the <strong>organ</strong>.<br />

Foundation tone in Diapasons refers more especially to the development<br />

<strong>of</strong> dignity and weight, as opposed to keen, stringy, or horny qualities.
