Weitprincipal German

Weitprinzipal German (Primary)


Description:

This stop is mentioned only by Adlung, who cites a 16' example but does not define it. The German word weit means �wide� or �distant�; from this we can surmise that it is most likely wide-scaled Prinzipal, or possibly an Echo Principal.


Examples:

Osiris contains four examples of this stop at 8' pitch, three each at 4' and 2', and one example at 16'. All are from the 20th century.
