	Diapason - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The diapason is the principal, or foundation, stop of the pipe organ, which has pipes throughout the entire range of the instrument.
		Diapason pipes give the organ its characteristic sound, and the 8-foot diapason (that is, the one which sounds middle C when middle C is pressed) may be said to be the one stop that is essential on virtually all organs of all sizes.
		Diapason is also used to refer to a physical implementation of a pitch standard, for instance a tuning fork used as a standard.

	List of pipe organ stops - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Diapason: A flue stop intended to be the backbone of the sound, and traditionally and most commonly at 8' on a manual, and 8' or 16' on the pedals.
		One of the most common ranks to break in the lower octaves, for example an open flute of metal may have the lowest octave of pipes stopped and made of wood, for reasons of space and economy.
		In traditional organ building, the trumpet is a firmer, more solid pitched stop than the French trompette, which emphasizes overtones at the expense of fundamental tone.

		May we assert that a simple demonstration of the "Diapason" will do all that is required to convince anyone that this is the only way a loudspeaker can attempt a re-creation of an actual sonic waveform.
		The "Diapason" is simply in a class by itself, and stands apart from previous and present designs in its ability to present the total impact of orchestra, chorus and organ as never before!
		Almost fanatic attention was devoted to the character of each of the four stages in the "Diapason" module, and to their potential harmonious affinity.

	diapason - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about diapason
		Diapasons may be ‘open’, producing a bright colour, or ‘stopped’, producing a muffled but sweet tone.

	Diapason - Preghiera di Sasso
		Diapason played together since the late 60's, initially basing their music on foreign artists' covers (among these Zappa and Emerson Lake and Palmer), then gradually expanding towards a more creative style that gave space to improvised parts.
		They were the first group in Abruzzo to play single band concerts (rather than in festivals as it was common practice at the time), and also began using theatrical contents in their live acts around 1974.
		Two of Diapason members, pianist Leonardo Epifani and drummer Paolo Previtali (here on bass guitar) also collaborated with Preghiera di Sasso, that despite being less known, had the chance of playing some important open-air festivals (Nettuno and Villa Pamphili).

		It has the essential tone of the Diapason: a strong fundamental and a harmonic series developed to just below the point where dissonant harmonics (not spurious harmonics) enter the tone.
		The conical Foundation ranks are not superior to the cylindrical pipes in the Diapason Chorus, because their sparsity of harmonics will not mesh so well with ranks higher in pitch, such as an 8' with a 4', or a 4' with a 2-2/3' rank.
		In his entry for Cone Gamba, Wedgwood says “The stop known as Cone Diapason is practically a distinction without a difference.

	Nineteenth-Century England
		With the addition of one or more reeds, usually an Oboe and a Trumpet at 8' pitch, the Swell division was in a position to act as a partner to the Great, overtaking the earlier position held by the Chair/Choir.
		The origin of this practice in seventeenth-century organs was the result of placing the instruments on top of choir screens, so that the cases originally had two fronts, one visible from the choir and one visible from the nave.
		The façade pipes (the 8' Open Diapason) form a fence or hedgerow across the upper portion of the instrument and appear to be standing on their variable length feet without any support for the upper portion of their bodies.

	Diapason Adamantes III - [English]
		Soon, as audiophiles started to listen to them, the Diapason Adamantes conquered a vast popularity, thanks to their unique sound style, a sound which was quite different from the mainstream.
		The break-in period, usually boring, has been very interesting instead: the "Diapason family sound" was evident and the new Adamantes reminded me the character of the smaller Diapason Prelude VS I tested some months ago here on TNT.
		Anyway, the Diapason crew is not sleeping but it is working to some new projects and, besides the expensive Adamantes Limited Edition (see their site for details), a new floorstander seems to be on the design desk.

		In the Swell, the very large Stopped Diapason was replaced by a new 4' Principal; since the 16' Bourdon was already on a unit chest, it was wired to play at 8' pitch as well, thereby providing a unison with a more moderate scale and cut-up.
		The Swell Harmonia Aetheria mixture was a Cornet (12, 15, 17) made of normal Diapason pipes; the 12th was 70sc, the 15th was 74sc, and the 17th was 76sc, with the 15th having a 2/9 mouth cut up 1/3.
