A reed in an organ pipe functions as a sound-producing element by vibrating in response to airflow. When air is blown through a narrow opening, it causes the reed to oscillate, creating pressure variations that generate sound waves. The pitch of the sound is determined by the size and material of the reed, as well as the dimensions of the pipe. This mechanism allows for a rich variety of tones in reed instruments, such as harmoniums and certain types of organs.

What are the differences between piano and organ?

A reed organ has "free reeds" much like those in a harmonica. These have no resonators and require little space. A pipe organ uses pipes, which can be categorized in to two groups; Flues and reeds. Flues are simply whistles - no moving parts. reed pipes contain a brass tongue but unlike a reed organ they beat against a flat surface with an opening - the "shallot" upon which a resonator is mounted. The majority of pipes are flue pipes. Many small pipe organs have no reed pipes.
