pipe organ
Church music giant
A pipe organ is a keyboard instrument that produces sound by forcing air through metal or wooden pipes of varying sizes.
The largest and most complex of acoustic instruments, pipe organs are associated with churches and concert halls, where their powerful, sustained tones fill vast spaces.
The pipe organ thundered through the cathedral.
