Doppelgedackt German

Doppelgedeckt German (Primary)


Description:

Audsley describes this as a type of Doppelflöte of large scale, the pipes being wider (relative to their depth) than those of the Doppelflöte. He describes its tone as �fuller and richer� than that of an ordinary Gedeckt. Irwin, on the other hand, describes it as being of smaller scale than the Doppelflöte, having a deeper and softer tone that is less full and liquid. Both of those sources list its pitches as 8' and 16'. Other sources mention this stop only in passing.


Variants:
