This dictionary is not as exhaustive as I would like it to be, but it is all that I was able to find in my research. In organ building frequently foreign stop names are used (e.g. to indicate that a stop is intonated according to the way it is typically done in that specific country), so if you find a gap the stop will usually have the same name in German / English / French. |
