Dulciana Mixture English |
![]() |
Wedgwood lists this stop with the following description:
A Mixture stop of quiet silvery tone, though scarcely of Dulciana scaled pipes. A very great acquisition to an organ of moderate size. The Dulciana Mixture is generally enclosed in a swell box. St. Mark, Leeds (Binns); York Minster (Walker); Echo Organ, Norwich Cathedral, VI ranks (Norman & Beard - a most effective stop [but no longer extant - Ed.]).
Sumner describes it as �a soft compound stop formed of dulciana pipes and often found on choir organs or on the swell organs of smaller instruments.� Sumner and Wedgwood both equate this stop with the Echo Cornet.
