Description

In the French organ, the Gamba is used traditionally as support with the celestial Voix, which consists of two rows of gambas whose agreement is shifted of a higher coma, which generates a soft undulation.

In the symphonic organ such as conceived Aristide Cavaillé-coll, one often finds two Gambas:

  • One placed at the Large Organ comes to constitute the romantic bottom of organ: Principal, Bumblebee, harmonic Flute and Gamba .
  • the other generally placed at the expressive Account is harmonized in a softer way and is used especially basic for the celestial Voix.
