 Organ Stop Pizza - The Mighty Wurlitzer
Organ Stop's Wurlitzer theatre organ was built for the Denver Theatre and was installed in 1927.
In the theatre, the organ was a style 260, having a three-manual console and 15 ranks/sets of pipes.
Organ Stop purchased the instrument in the early 1970's and undertook the mammoth task of rebuilding the instrument.

 French and German pipe organ stops
The reed stops with a "normal" resonator length (as long as the correspondent flue pipes) are drawn with flue mutations (usually the compound cornet, which sound only in the upper half of the keyboard).
It is one of the louder stops of the organ.
This stop, often encountered in symphonic organs, is a soloist reed stop, built with resonator pipes which have the same length as trumpets, but narrow at the base, and with a wider cone at the top.

 Dictionary
The stop is considered mostly related to the reed family in all of its three forms since sound is produced by one air driven object hitting another static object at various tuned frequencies (as opposed to a vibrating column of air) producing a musical effect of very little use.
The stop is found on the PEDAL at the 16' pitch and on various manuals at the 8' and 4' pitches.
The sound of the organ (the Niños gritadores 4' is the only stop on this small instrument) is highly prized by the local sheep herders who flock to Sunday service with their own flocks (sheep seeming to have a natural appreciation for the wailing sound of this music).

 WAC Newsletter: On the Nature of the Beast That Does Not Breathe
A divided stop is a stop that is accentuated by two stop controls, one for the bass half of a keyboard, and one for the treble.
On older organs that have been converted to electrical blowing, the electrical switch to the blower may be connected to this stop knob.
Thus the minimum requirements to play the piece are that the organ have three stops on the lower manual, five stops on the upper manual, and two in the pedal, while at the same time allowing the possibility of playing the work on a much larger organ.

 Organ Installation Chronology
Three new stops were introduced on November 22: the Gemshorn 2 foot on the Swell and the 8 foot and 4 foot Octaves in the Pedal.
This stop is also unusual in that its stop knob has a double-draw capability: pulled out only halfway, it turns on only the 2 2/3-foot rank; pulled out all the way, it brings on the second rank of pipes.
This stop, located in the Swell, is comparable in function, structure, and sound to the Mixture V of the Great, except that it is pitched a fifth higher.

The Stop object type is also (strictly) the parent of the Pipe object type, but for clarity in the organ file, the settings for the Pipe objects are included in the Stop objects' sections.
A stop may have some speaking pipes and some borrowed pipes, as is sometimes the case with the bass octaves on real pipe organ stops.
Any references to pipes from another stop (borrowed pipes) are affected by the enclosures and tremulants of the windchest group attached to the stop for which they are a speaking pipe.

 Johann Sebastian Bach's Organ Stops
It was universally agreed, though, that what really set his organs apart from all the other organ builder's instruments was the exquisite tonal beauty and variety of the stops on his organs.
A pipe organ typically has many stops, each with a different tonal quality, thus affording the organ great versatility in the way it sounds.) Consequently, everyone wanted a Bach organ, and all the other organ builders were being driven out of business.
The organ community is upset about this since the joke is not listed as a joke and the uninformed might go away believing that Bach built organs.

 Control Systems MIDI Concepts
Subsequently, when the organist draws the stop or when the stop is turned on via a piston, all the appropriate patch information is sent to the MIDI expanders that are attached.
Since the control of an organ is rather different from the control of most MIDI sequencers and expanders, in keeping with its philosophy of providing maximum flexibility to the organist, Classic Organ Works provides sequencer-MIDI support completely separately from its expander-MIDI support.
Stop data is transmitted as a block of data known as a MIDI “System Exclusive” (SysEx) message whenever there is a major change as in the pressing of a General piston.

In 1972, the original Organ Stop Pizza restaurant premiered in Phoenix, Arizona at the corner of 7th Street and Missouri Avenue with a Wurlitzer pipe organ which was originally built for Grauman's Hollywood Egyptian Theater.
This unique concept of a pizza parlor with a pipe organ was envisioned by William P. Brown, a Phoenix real estate developer whose enthusiasm for the theater pipe organ and its music led to the creation of this landmark attraction.
The instrument was totally rebuilt, and the decision was made to enlarge the organ to 23 ranks for its debut in the new Mesa Organ Stop.
