choir organchair organn.

Etymology: The latter is the original name. Choir organ , if not a blunder to begin with, has often been wrongly substituted for chair organ in printing 17th cent. documents; and thus, even writers of repute have erroneously alleged that it was the original. (See E. J. Hopkins and E. F. Rimbault Hist. Organ (passim); Hawkins, quot. 1776 at β. ; Grove, Dict. Music s.v. choir organ.)

One of the aggregated organs (now usually three in number, the others being the great organ n. at great adj., n., adv., and int. Compounds 1e and the swell organ at swell n. 6) which go to make up a large organ, having its row of keys the lowest of the three, and containing stops of a lighter character than the great organ; used for accompanying a choir.
