A reed stop of the Regal class, so named because of its �singing� tonality. Only Wedgwood mentions both names, giving this description: �A Regal of cantabile tone. A variety of Vox Humana. Inserted by Julius Antonio at St. Mary, Danzic as early as 1585.� Grove and Williams give the Singendregal a light or delicate tone, useful for cantus firmus melodies�. Audsley specifies a pitch of 8', Williams says 4' or 2'. Adlung considers it to be synonymous with Jungfernregal.
