Echo Mixture English

Described only by Irwin, who says:

A compound manual stop made from soft Diapasons, perhaps Echo Geigens, Dulcianas, or even Echo Dulcianas, occasionally designed to resemble a Fourniture, Cornet, or some other type of multiple-rank stop.

Bonavia-Hunt also mentions it as one of the “most commonly used miniatures”.

See Mixture; compare with Soft Mixture.
