1One of the features of these instruments is the Dulciana selective mixture which is of inestimable value in registration and for delicate coloring as well as in the ensemble. A 16 ft. Dulciana is successfully employed both in the Pedal and Swell divisions of this type of organ. As far as the company knows they have been the first builders to incorporate these tonalities in small organs. They have also a specially scaled and voiced reed stop with a smooth tone, neither Oboe nor Trumpet, which plays an important part in the ensemble and also constitutes a beautiful solo stop.
3Because of their development of high grade small instruments the company has naturally built many school organs some of which are as follows:
