essories: 5 compound composition keys for Great and Pedal, Swell and
Pedal, Solo; 3 for Choir and Pedal, and 2 to each manual for couplers;
2 combination keys; Tremulant to Swell; 5 composition pedals; Stop
Switch, Key and Pedal.
The composition keys between the manuals if touched in the centre give
automatically an appropriate Pedal bass in addition to the particular
stops acted upon; but if touched on one side do not disturb the Pedal
department. All combination movements affect the stop keys themselves.
The "stop switch" enables the player to prepare in advance any special
combination of stops and couplers, bringing them into play at the
moment desired. The organ is blown by a six-horse gas engine.
ORGAN IN WOOLSEY HALL, YALE UNIVERSITY,
NEW HAVEN, CONN.
This magnificent instrument, built by the Hutchings-Votey Organ Company
in 1902, possesses increased foundation tone and higher wind pressures.
The late Professor Samuel S. Sanford, devoted much time and interest in
its design. He visited Worcester Cathedral, England, and was
profoundly impressed with the new epoch in tone production heralded by
that organ. He made an effort to have Mr. Hope-Jones voice one of his
Tibias and Smooth Tubas for the Yale organ; and though his effort was
not successful, leading features of the Worcester instrument were
frankly imitated and generously acknowledged. It was largely due to
the liberality of Mr. George S. Hutchings in interpreting the terms of
the contract that such a complete instrument was secured for the
University. In recognition of this and in view of Mr. Hutchings'
artistic contributions to the art of organ-building, the University
conferred upon him the honorary degree of Master of Arts. The
Diapasons are voiced on pressures ranging from 3 1/2 to 22 inches; the
reeds in the Great and Swell on 10 inches, and the Tuba on 22 inches.
The builders state that the mixtures have been inserted at the request
of many noted organists. There are now 78 sounding stops.
Compass of Manuals from CC to c|4|, 61 notes. Compass of Pedals from
CCC to g, 32 notes.
