Re: Tuning the Wurlitzer Band Organ
By Ron Yost
The 'stops' mentioned are wooden 'sliders' -- wooden sliding strips located in the pipe toe-board, beneath the pipe feet. The strips are drilled with holes which, in the 'on' position, correspond with the wind path from the chest up to the pipe(s). Slid sideways to the 'off' position the holes are moved. Slid sideways to a stop pin the wind is cut-off because there are no holes. It's a simple on-off affair.
