organ pipes
Church music tubes
Organ pipes are the vertical tubes in a pipe organ that produce sound when air passes through them.
Each pipe sounds a single pitch, so large organs may have thousands arranged in ranks.
The term extends to things resembling such pipes in appearance—columnar rock formations, tall cacti, or any array of vertical cylinders: The basalt columns rose like organ pipes from the canyon floor.
