Waldhorn

Also: French Horn The "Waldhorn" register in a pipe organ is a reed stop that emulates the distinctive timbre of a French horn. It is known for its warm and mellow tone, reminiscent of the brass instrument it seeks to imitate. The pipes of the French Horn register are typically made of metal and have a conical shape. They produce a smooth and lyrical sound that blends well with other stops in the organ. The French Horn register is often used to add a touch of elegance, warmth, and expressive beauty to organ music. Its rich and noble timbre can be utilized for solo passages, lyrical melodies, or to create a warm and supportive background texture within the organ's tonal palette.
