DYK: Did you know?
Pulling out a stop lets air flow through a pipe and make a sound. Prior to the introduction of pipe organs the word ‘stop’ had, in a musical context, been used to mean ‘note’ or ‘key’.
Organs have stops to control the air flow through the pipes and pulling them out increases the musical volume. When all are pulled out, the organ can play all tones simultaneously.
