cello pipe

· January 15, 2016 ·

String pipe constructed in the manner of a violin pipe (usually with a frein or roller), but of a lower pitch than a violin pipe. Often in German orchestrion catalogs, a single rank of string pipes is described as having violin (highest treble section), viola, violoncello, and cello (lowest bass section) pipes, although violoncello and cello are synonymous from a strict usage viewpoint.
