Abstract / Description of output

This paper describes an initial investigation into the speaking characteristics of reed organ pipes. There are a wide variety of pipes and individual pipe makers and voicers adopt their own processes. Measurements were taken of threshold and full speech for a range of resonator lengths. Much has been written about transient control on pipe organs and the paper considers how the characteristics identified might lead to varying transients.
