Englischhorn

The register known as "English Horn" in a pipe organ is designed to imitate the sound of the orchestral instrument of the same name, which is a double-reed woodwind instrument. It is a reed stop that produces a warm, rich, and expressive tone, similar to the sound of the English Horn instrument. In terms of construction, the pipes of the English Horn register in a pipe organ are typically made of metal. The pipes for the English Horn stop are often of a conical shape, tapering towards the top. This shape helps to create the characteristic tone of the English Horn, with a warm and vocal-like quality. The length and diameter of the pipes determine the pitch they produce, with longer pipes producing lower notes. The resulting tone is warm, expressive, and evocative, reminiscent of the singing quality of the orchestral English Horn.
