Oktavflöte

The register known as "Octaveflute" in a pipe organ is designed to produce a sound that is similar to a flute but at the octave above the corresponding unison pitch. It is a principal stop that adds brightness and clarity to the overall organ sound. The pipes for the Octaveflute stop are typically of a cylindrical shape. The mouth or lip of the Octaveflute pipes is designed to produce a focused and clear sound. The Octaveflute stop is often used to enhance the melodic line, create contrast with other stops, or provide a shimmering texture in the organ music.
