Stops on the Solo Manual
In addition to a good assortment from the unified ranks (top row), there are three ranks of generators, one each at 4', 8', and 16', each providing 8 distinct tones (stops). There are also couplers to shift all stops up or down an octave as well as to turn off the "normal" (8') pitch and couple the Swell to the Solo. The glockenspiel stops appear at lower right, but the other black stops (center row, piano, etc.) have not been implemented. Near bottom center, the Leslie speaker control is barely visible. (A Leslie speaker utilizes a rotating speaker which provides synchronized vibrato (from the Doppler shift) and tremolo. It has a rather unique sound.) The couplers for the Swell manual are also visible near bottom center in this photo.
Anomaly: It would appear that the white piccolo stop between the Viola 4' and the Tuba Profunda in the unified stop row is in error. I suspect this is a 2' string stop, but a suitable stop key was not available. There are few named 2' string stops, but it might be intended to be a Violetta, a Viol Fifteenth, or possibly simply Viol 2'.
