Introduction

The Schober Corporation offered a wide range of accessories for the Recital organ, such as the Reverbatape, Percussion Group, Schulmerich Chimeatron, combination action, a power amplifier, and various excellent speakers.  Unfortunately, I don't have any of those.

The one I do have is the Library of Stops.  All the stop filters which make the characteristic sounds of the organ are on small circuit cards.  For a modest cost, owners could buy extra stop filter cards and a kit of components for constructing additional filters.  The Library of Stops was supplied with a number of filter designs, but owners were also encouraged to experiment and devise their own.

As a result, many Recital organs have non-standard and in some cases unique stops.  My instrument has a number of reeds which could be described either as "nasty" or "baroque" depending on one's point of view; generally these replace louder but less interesting reeds.
