 Christo Bresnahan - Tips for Composing for Organ
The pipe organ is not well presented in the major American orchestration/instrumentation texts causing most non-organist composers to be naive about the instrument.
A stop is usually a knob pulled out to activate a set (or multiple sets) of pipes called a 'rank ' which usually covers the full range of the keyboard or pedal board.
A variant is called the 'stopped diapason' where a stopper is placed in the top of the pipe to close it off and create a pitch one octave lower than the actual length of the pipe.
