30-stop organ Explanation: I'm quite sure it is called like that in English. Google some info about organs, but I'm almost sure about the translation. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2009-10-16 16:44:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- P.S.: I'll help you with the explanation in an hour and a half if there will be no other variants. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2009-10-16 21:02:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- UPDATE: Ok, you can also translate that like "30 pipe organ" (which, as far as I understand, is the same). "Sounding pipes" (or "sounding stops" - a less frequent variant) exist, I'm sure about that. |

30 rank organ Explanation: As you said, it's the combination of a number of pipes and the wind flow through them that gives each rank its "timbre". The stop is the mechanical device that opens and closes the wind flow to the pipe or rank. |
