Basszink German


Description:

Not described in the literature, this stop is a pedal mixture of II to VII ranks, usually III or IV, used by certain 20th century German builders. Most of the known examples start at 5-1/3' pitch.


Examples:

Osiris contains 14 examples, 12 of which are from the latter half of the 20th century.

Basszink VII 2', Pedal; Lorenzkirche, Nürnberg, Germany; Steinmeyer 1937. This is the earliest known example. It is the only example of VII ranks, and the only one known to start at 2' pitch rather than 5-1/3'.
