In a pipe organ or band organ, two or more pipe ranks of the same basic tonal family (but of different pitch) which are sounded together by a single register. Usually used in the treble range to achieve a greater volume (to balance the powerful bass division). High treble mixtures add great brilliance to the tone, as in Bruder and Ruth fairground organs.
