This table allows you to translate stop names and technical terms from one language into another. It is important to note that stops in particular are not exactly equivalent across borders: a French Montre is neither an English Open Diapason nor a German Prinzipal, but they are all open flue pipes of similar appearance. French reeds and German principals both tend to be brighter than their English counterparts, for example. Mixtures are particularly tricky, as their role in each country's organs is very different. Another pitfall is that many stops were named before standard spelling, so many archaic variations persist even in modern organs. To find a particular stop name or term, use the "Find in Page" function of your web browser - usually Ctrl F. Stops that only exist in one country's tradition, or whose spelling is common to all countries, are not included here.
