En chamade

As Orgelregister en Chamade refers to those reeds , which at right angles to the brochure are arranged and protrude horizontally from the brochure of the organ. In addition to the special appearance, registers of the en Chamade version have the characteristic advantage that their sound is particularly powerful and present, since the sound waves can propagate unhindered into the room (without other pipes, organ cases). As a rule, the registers have opening tongues. They first appeared in Spain and France in the 17th century .

Common registers that are built en Chamade are:

• Spanish trumpets (also called chamades; are always built en chamades)
• Orlos as a cylindrical horizontal shelf
• Bayjoncillo and related trumpet stops . In the Spanish organ building it was executed in the bass range in 8 'position and called Clarín in the treble.
