Re: The Tracker Organ
By Jan Kijlstra

Robbie, you got it: the tracker bar, wood or metal, indeed is the stick where, one way or another, the keys are connected with the valves. This can be achieved by using air (like in most organs), but also using levers which raise when they do meet a hole in the source.

A remark must be made: I did use the book "The Marvelous World..." together with other sources to write you my text. So it is not a "text from the book". However, the classification-scheme (that with the "-phones") is copied from the book.
