Note: Cornet V at 6-2/5' is an independent 5-rank stop including 7ths and 9ths. The stop tab normally brings in other unison and quint ranks which can be shut off via an unmarked toggle switch on top of the relay in the blower room. In the rich reverberation of this room, the Cornet effect is extraordinary. |
