In large and small organs Sub-Bass forms one of the most essential stops; and even in the smallest instrument a coupler to the first manual should not be deemed a sufficient substitute. From' an acoustic point of view it is worth mentioning that my experience of the character of this stop is that the same note, which may have a tremendous effect in one part of the church, may scarcely be audible a few paces from this spot. This acoustic peculiarity of Sub-Bass (and other tones of lower registers) has therefore caused great trouble to many a builder, and has often made the satisfaction of experts questionable.
