First problem is how to pronounce it: chems or jems.
A hybrid, it has characteristics of the flute and the principal, but
fall someplace in between. Adn that's the beauty of it. If voiced
nicely up to a level of use, it is great to fill out an ensemble of 8'
flues, binding them together, but also, when trying to vary tone color
between solo and accompaniment it provices variety instead of just using
flutes to accompany principals and vice-versa.
Do not discount its ability to serve as a light solo voice, round with
an edge...
Not so lowly after all. Now should it be chems or jems?
