It's not. It appears to be, since it is the same name and pitch as the one in the Swell, and it does have SW on its knob. In reality it (and the occasional Bassoon 16' SW) found on Rodgers are stops that are independent, can be voiced independently, but...they are expressed by the Swell Expression Pedal. That's the reason. Having a soft 16' expressive with the Swell gives you the ability to use the swell stops to accompany a solo stop on the Great or Choir and balance it out with using the SW to PD and this soft 16'. When you depress the pedal, the Swell gets louder..and so does this 16'. It's another element of good design. -- noel jones, aago athens, tennessee, usa ------------------------------- frog music press rodgers organ users group www.frogmusic.com * Frog Music Press Introduces two new books: Hymn Tune and Classical Duets for Organ and Piano (or PR-300) ---- To unsubscribe or change mail delivery (digest, vacation) go to www.frogmusic.com/rodgersmem.html
