Traversflöte

The register called Traversflute in a pipe organ is designed to imitate the sound of a transverse flute. It is a flute-like stop that produces a gentle and sweet tone, similar to that of a wooden flute. In terms of construction, the pipes of the Traversflute register are typically made of wood or metal. The choice of material depends on the organ builder's preference and the desired tonal quality. Wooden pipes are often used to achieve a warmer and softer sound, while metal pipes can produce a brighter and more focused tone. The pipes for the Traversflute stop are usually cylindrical in shape, resembling the design of a traditional flute.
