Manual
The register called "Spitzflöte" in a pipe organ is typically a flue stop that produces a delicate and bright flute-like sound. It is often used to provide a sweet and singing quality to the organ's tonal palette. The pipes for the Spitzflöte stop are generally cylindrical in shape and have a closed or capped top. The mouth or lip of the pipes is designed to produce a smooth and controlled sound. The design and dimensions of the pipes contribute to the flute-like timbre of the Spitzflöte, creating a bright and expressive sound that blends well with other stops in the organ. Overall, the Spitzflöte stop is characterized by its clarity, purity, and singing quality, making it a versatile and commonly used stop in pipe organs.
