Organ of the Basilica of St. Martin (Weingarten)
There is a legend about the organ's vox humana stop. Gabler tried to make a pipe which sounds like the human voice. He tried different types of woods and metals. But nothing worked. One night, the devil promised Gabler that he would help him. In return, Gabler had to give up his soul. He exchanged his soul for a piece of metal. He used this metal to make the vox humana pipes. The pipes worked. They sounded like the human voice. However, the monks in the abbey soon noticed. Gabler was put on trial. He confessed to his crimes. He was sentenced to be burned at the stake. However, Gabler has to make a replacement of the vox humana pipes. His replacements were so good that the monks did not execute him.
