The rank of eight foot jacks which is nearest to the player (unless there is a lute stop which is then between the player and the front eight foot).
Notes :
The front eight foot is always on the upper manual although in the case of English harpsichords the dogleg puts it on the lower manual as well.
English, and most of the classical Flemish double-manual harpsichords/use a dogleg action/. It is given this strange name because the front 8' jack (which/could be imagined to look like a dog's leg) has a step cut into it so that it can be lifted at one of two points; thus, dogleg jacks can be operated from either the upper or the lower manual, and both 8's are available on the lower manual. The front 8' can be shut off by moving its register, but then it cannot be played from either manual.Termes :
- front eight foot
