What is a "stop"?

A stop is a control on an organ that alters the sound produced by the instrument. It works by enabling or disabling specific sets of pipes or ranks, which can change the instrument's timbre, pitch, and volume. Each stop corresponds to a different sound quality or tone color, allowing the organist to select and combine different sounds to create a desired effect. By pulling or pushing stops, the organist can modify the character of the music being played, adding variety and richness to the performance.
