Most new organs, even small instruments, have an assertive trumpet en chamade. This is a relatively new fashion in organ design and was not used in the past except for Spanish organs. Why has it become fashionable to included such a stop which can only be used infrequently? Note that the same fashion is in vogue in the theatre organ world in adding a post horn (loud assertive trumpet) to original instruments.
What do others think about this new fashion? It seems that this type of sound was not needed for most of the history of the organ but is a necessity now.
