Lead is toxic to humans (causes brain damage) thus when using a solder to join copper water pipes it is best not to use a solder containing lead as this will get into the water passing through the pipes and slowly poison the user of this water.
How do you clean sugar of lead from organ pipes?
this is a very specialist job and should really only be done by a professional organ builder if you want the pipes to speak correctly again I suspect that the problem you are experiencing is with the reed pipes where the block has sugar of lead on it and become attached to the boot thus allowing small particles to drop onto the reed tongue. I have undertaken this kind of work and used a small metal file but beware that it is time consuming and the boots will have to be refitted due to the expansion caused by the sugar of lead personally i was not tempted to try any chemicals in fear of dissolving a surface of the lead block and causing another reaction or worse still making the shallot a bad fit. hope this has been of benefit some other organ builders will I am sure have found another method that has been satisfactory to them.

Why were organ pipes made of tin?
Metal organ pipes are made of various proportions of lead and tin. These metals are used because they are easily manipulated both in the manufacturing process and during the voicing process where minute changes are made to the sound producing portions of the pipes. The proportion of metals depends on the sound the organ builder is trying to achieve. Tin is lighter and stiffer than lead. Therefore it will result in a more harmonically rich tone. Pipes that produce intense tones with fewer harmonics are often made of almost pure lead. Larger pipes will collapse under their own weight if made of a lead / tin alloy. Pure tin was used for larger pipes in European organs because of the availability of readily available tin deposits, particularly in England. It will also take a high polish giving the gleaming silver pipes that are typical of European organ facades. Zinc is commonly used for large pipes as it is less expensive than tin and more plentiful in North America and other areas.
How many pipes are on the biggest organ?
As the vast majority of pipe organs are custom designed there is no one, definitive answer. A small, hand pumped, table top organ ("or Portative") might have as few as 25 pipes - or two octaves. The common, medium sized church organ averages around 1,000 pipes. Large organs can have upwards of 10,000 pipes. The two largest, the Wanamaker Organ and the Atlantic City Convention Hall Organ have 28,543 pipes and 33,114 pipes respectively.

A plumber has put 18 gallons of antifreeze into my water pipes can the antifreeze interact with copper or lead pipes or pipes with lead soddering and cause contamination to the water?
I can't think you are talking drinking water pipes because anitfreeze is poisonous. Nor should you have lead pipes or lead solder in drinking water pipes. So either sleeve pipes or heating pipes then. Antifreeze has inhibitors designed to prevent corrosion.
