noun

リーガル

An organ stop of the reed family, furnished with a normal beating reed, but whose resonator is a fraction of its natural length. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries these stops took a multitude of forms. Today only one survives that is of universal currency, the so-called Vox Humana.

Examples :

"The small church organ, though aged, still boasted its distinctive regals, producing a reedy, almost human-like tone alongside the other stops. "

小さな教会のオルガンは古くなっていたものの、独特のリーガルを備えており、他のストップと共に、葦のような、ほとんど人間の声のような音色を奏でていた。
