The Swell Open Diapason doubles as a Celeste by means of a second slider feeding air through
adjustable valves to restrict the flow of wind. It is \"tuned\" flat by adjusting the amount of wind
getting to the pipes from the second slider.
Due to height restrictions, the Pedal Open Diapason bottom notes combine the Bourdon 16' with softly
speaking 8' Open Diapason pipes, which fill in the harmonics missing from a stopped pipe. Snetzler
did this in the UK centuries ago for manual Open Diapasons on chamber organs.
