The number on the stop shows its pitch.
The stops and couplers on the organ each have a pitch designation listed in feet (8’, 4’, 16’,
etc.).
8’ refers to concert pitch ; a key played on an 8’ stop will have an identical pitch as the
same key played on a piano. 16’ represents an octave below concert pitch; a key played on a
16’ stop will sound an octave below an 8’ stop. This system of designating pitches represents
the approximate length of open organ pipes; the largest pipe in an 8’ rank is approximately
eight feet long; the largest pipe in a 16’ rank is about sixteen feet long. Other footages and
their relationship to concert pitch are listed in the table below:
Pitch Relationship to concert pitch
32’ two octaves below
16’ one octave below
8’ equal to concert pitch (also known as ‘Unison’)
4’ one octave above
2’ two octaves above
1’ three octaves above
•
Fraction? It’s a “Mutation” stop.
Mutation stops have fractions in their pitch designations. This means that their pitch falls
somewhere other than on the octave. (Refer to the table below).
