Nazard. This stop is of lead and spindle-shaped, as shown in [Plate VIII] fig. 38 . It speaks the fifth above the Prestant or four-foot. See the table of compasses of organ stops [Plate XI, fig. 67] and the article Organ, in which the construction of this stop is explained.
In some organs, the Nazard is not spindle-shaped; in this case, the basses have chimneys and the trebles are open.
