User:Sesquialtera II

I'm an organist/conductor/singer/graduate student based in Connecticut. I primarily edit articles relating to my specialty, with occasional forays into other areas. In the future I also have plans to reduce the large number of missing aural examples for organ-related articles, especially of music written prior to 1800.

I can't believe you haven't got one of these yet. All your hard work is very much appreciated.

With thanks,

Sesquialtera II is an organ stop which includes two ranks of pipes: 2 2/3' and 1 3/5'. It is meant to be combined with other stops, such as 8', 4', and 2' ranks; it then can be used as part of a plenum (on early organs) or as a solo stop (on later organs). Its name is derived from Sesquialterum.
