[rodgersorgan] The use of pedal with the Flute Celeste.....

List:

1. The use of the organ varies from denomination to denomination.  We are 
beginning to see the resurgence of playing during prayer, calling for very soft 
stops...

An easy solution for this is to use the Flute Celeste.  The problem arises that 
the organist wants the Soft 16' voiced low to use with the  Flute Celeste.

This can be done, but as a result the soft 16' is then too soft for use with 
any 
other stop or combination of stops.

Having dealt with this twice, once porrly, the second time better, there are 
two 
solutions:

1. Voice the pedal the way this organist wants it but put the voicing on a 
Smart 
Card. As long as they wuthdraw the Smart Card when not in use, guest organists 
will not compain about the weak 16'.

2. An even better solution, voice the Voice Palette pedal flute 16' hidden 
behind the big Subbass 16' in the pedal very, very soft to match the Flute 
Celeste, then save that combination on a general piston.

Then the Bourdon Doux 16' usually the soft one, remains where it belgons.  To 
play behind prayer just push the piston and the Voice Palette 16' is heard.

Also, if the really soft 16' is needed at any other toime, just push the soft 
piston, then cancel...the soft 16' remains accessible to you by hand at the 
position of the Subbass 16' until a piston is engaged that has the Subbass on 
it.
