Klingendzimbel German? Klingend[e] Cymbel German? Klingender Cymbel German?

The only definition we have of this stop comes from Adlung:

Klingender Cymbel, [Praetorius] says, is also 3 ranks, but repeats [continually] throughout the entire keyboard, and is considered the most artistic; it is encountered twice at the Jacobikirche in Hamburg, as well as at Bernau in the Mark [Brandenburg] and at the Nicolaikirche in Leipzig.

Irwin only mentions it in a list of mixture stops under the heading “Diapason Chorus”, with no definition. The German word klingend means “ringing”.

See Zimbel.
