Derby and District Organists’ Association Exploring a Pipe Organ with CATO Children and the Organ Project When you look inside an organ you will see many pipes in a variety of shapes and sizes. An organ with about 16 stops usually has more than 1000 pipes. A cathedral organ may have 10,000 pipes. However large or small an organ is, its pipes may be grouped into five main families: • • • • • DIAPASONS FLUTES REEDS STRINGS MIXTURES DIAPASON family These pipes are usually seen on the front of the organ. The tone is bold and full. DIAPASON stop names Double Diapason Open Diapason Principal Twelfth Fifteenth Tierce FLUTE family The pipes are often made from wood and sometimes have a stopper in the top. The tone is sweet and mellow. FLUTE stop names Bourdon Claribel Harmonic Flute Hohl Flute Rohr Flute Nazard Piccolo REED family Each pipe has a metal vibrator in its foot. The tone is sharp, clear and can be loud. REED stop names Bassoon Clarinet Clarion Cornpean Oboe Trumpet Trombone Tuba Vox Humana STRINGS family These pipes are very narrow, giving a ‘thin’ clear tone. They tend to sound rather soft and mysterious. STRINGS stop names Gamba Salicional Voix Celeste Violone MIXTURE family There are 3 ranks of pipes which sound a chord for each note. They are pitched high and sound very bright.

An organ contains hundreds of pipes which may be grouped into five families: Diapasons Flutes Reeds Strings Mixtures Each family is different from the others by the type of their sound. Members of each family have stop names. Some names come from musical instruments. Materials prepared by Laurence Rogers for the Children and the Organ Project Team: Stephen Johns James Muckle Edmund Stow Gillian Chatto Laurence Rogers John Forster Chris Darrall Sponsored by Derby and District Organists’ Association Derby and District Organists’ Association Children and the Organ Project The project aims to introduce young children to the fascinating world of pipe organs through practical workshops and fun activities. The building and playing of organs being such multidisciplinary activities, their study has numerous spin-offs for the school curriculum.
