Non-Speaking Stops (continued)

Another kind of non-speaking stop is the TREMULANT.

Cancel, then pull the following stop combination:

• Great: Gedackt 8' (or another 8' flute stop)
• Swell: Oboe 8' (or another “reedy” stop marked 8') AND the tremulant on the Swell
• Pedal: Subbass 16' and Gedackt 8' (or other soft 16' and 8' stops)

Play a C chord on the Great in the left hand, a C in the Pedal, and a slow C scale in the right hand on the Swell. If ONLY the Swell stop is affected by the tremulant, your organ has a DIVISIONAL tremulant. If ALL stops are affected, then the tremulant is not divisional but GENERAL, and will probably be used less frequently.
