3. fully open.
If a two-manual pipe or electronic organ contains only one expression pedal,
1. it affects the Swell division only.
2. it may affect the entire organ.
3. it affects the entire organ.
The crescendo pedal increases volume
1. by adding stops in a certain order and opening louvers or “swell shades” of any enclosed division.
2. on electronic organs only, by operating as a volume control on a radio, thereby controlling the volume of the entire organ.
3. by opening louvers or “swell shades” of an enclosed division.
4. by adding stops in a certain order until nearly all stops are engaged.
Which of the following is NOT true relative to the expression or crescendo pedals?
1. The crescendo pedal is not present on some organs.
2. The crescendo pedal is located to the right of the Swell expression pedal.
3. The Swell expression pedal is located above middle E and F of the pedal board.
4. The normal position of the crescendo pedal is fully open.
5. If a Solo expression pedal is present, the crescendo pedal is located to its right.
Which of the following is the correct notation for the second C of the pedals?

3. The set and cancel buttons are located in approximately the same positions as they would appear on a larger console.
From bottom to top, what is the normal order of manuals on a four-manual organ?
1. Choir/Positiv, Great, Swell, Solo
2. Choir/Positiv, Solo, Great, Swell
3. Solo, Choir/Positiv, Great, Swell
4. Great, Swell, Choir/Positiv, Solo
5. Great, Swell, Solo, Choir/Positiv
On a four-manual organ, which of the following would be the normal order of expression and crescendo pedals from left to right?

2. choir, solo, swell, crescendo
3. choir, swell, solo, crescendo
4. choir, swell, crescendo, solo
5. none of the above
What is/are likely to be found above the highest manual?
1. stop tabs (on smaller organ consoles)
2. coupler rail (on larger organ consoles)
3. rocker tabs (on smaller organ consoles)
4. all of the above
5. none of the above
Which of the following pairs of divisions are usually UNenclosed?

2. Choir, Solo
3. none of the above pairs are both usually unenclosed
What would be the most likely location for the general combination pistons ("pre-sets") on a larger organ console?
1. to the left underneath at least two of the manuals
2. centered underneath at least two of the manuals
3. to the right underneath at least two of the manuals
4. They are just as likely to be in one location as another.
You have set thumb piston ("pre-set") General 3. As you practice, you discover that it would be easier to recall the combination by pressing toe stud General 3. What will you have to do?
1. Reset the combination on toe stud General 3, and then recall the combination by pressing it.
2. Reset the combination on toe stud General 3, and then recall the combination by pressing both thumb piston and toe stud General 3.
3. Recall the combination by pressing toe stud General 3.
4. None of the above will work, as toe studs only recall pedal divisional combinations.
If a small organ contains only two toe studs, what are they most likely to be?
1. Sforzando (“Tutti”) reversible and a 32' pedal stop reversible
2. General combination 1 and Pedal divisional combination 1
