pipe organ

noun pipe organs

  1. The largest of all musical instruments, played from an organ console. The organ produces its sound by sending air through organ pipes—either reed pipes or flue pipes,—which are seated on wind chests. The valves controlling each pipe may be actuated electronically or using long wooden poles called trackers.
