Vertical Tongue Tuning

Ideal reed tuning iron for angled tuning crutches on standing reed boots.

This variant was developed by organ builder colleague Gottwald and enables "blind" tuning from above, especially with several reed stops in a row.

The description from the inventor himself can be found via the following link, which we highly recommend: www.kiliangottwald.de/vertikalstimmeisen/.

The 500 mm long voice iron made of aluminum has a square slot at the ends. This allows "hooking" into the tuning crutch from above. The longer or shorter slot is suitable depending on the reed size. It is also possible to tune the tongue higher or lower without changing the "hooking".
