Tibia Latin

This name, which means “pipe”, is usually qualified with other terms (see variants below). By itself, according to Irwin, it indicates an open flute of 8' pitch, usually of wood but occasionally of metal. On a theatre organ, the name Tibia indicates a Tibia Clausa. While this term was in use long before Hope-Jones arrived on the scene, his use of it has effectively redefined it to indicate a family of huge scaled flutes with little harmonic development.
