The musical instrument known as the regal or regalle (from Middle French régale[1]) is a small portable organ, furnished with beating reeds and having two bellows.[2] The instrument enjoyed its greatest popularity during the Renaissance. The name "regal" was also sometimes given to the reed stops of a pipe organ, and more especially to the vox humana stop.
