   • 1930, William Harrison Barnes, The contemporary american organ, page 312:

     Substituting a Dolce for the Quintade for church use would make this little organ far more useful than some much larger baroque organs that I have played.

   • 2011, Randall Harlow, Recent Organ Design Innovations and the 21st-century “Hyperorgan”:

     The Flute and Principal jump an octave at high pressures, while the Quintade can be heard at the 8’ fundamental using low pressure on the cone-pallet box and can then overblow to the tierce at 90 mm WC.
