BIBLE REGAL
Regal, also called Reed Organ, a small, easily portable pipe organ usually having only a
single set, or rank, of reed pipes. The beating reeds are surmounted by small resonators,
producing a nasal, buzzing tone. Wind under pressure to sound the pipes is supplied by one
or two bellows attached to the instrument and operated by the player or an assistant. The
so-called bible regal, of the 16th century and later, can be folded up into the shape of a
large book when not in use, hence its name. Regals, widely played in Europe during the
Renaissance and Baroque eras, gained popularity as both solo and ensemble instruments.
