pipe organs
Church wind instruments
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 musical instruments, pipe organs are fixtures of churches, concert halls, and cathedrals, where their sound can fill vast spaces.
The pipe organ thundered through the cathedral.
The plural distinguishes actual instruments from the electronic organs that often substitute for them.
