What instrumental family does the pipe organ belong to?

That depends. If you consider percussion instruments and keyboard instruments to be seperate groups, then the pipe organ belongs in the keyboard group. If you consider percussion and keyboard instruments to be the same group, then the pipe organ is a percussion instrument. It's worth noting that the pipe organ is also technically a woodwind instrument, because the sounds come from wind passing through its pipes.


What keyboard instrument uses vibrating air colums to produce sound?

The keyboard instrument that uses vibrating air columns to produce sound is the organ. In an organ, when a key is pressed, air is directed through pipes of varying lengths, creating different pitches based on the size of the pipe. The sound is generated by the vibration of the air column within these pipes. This mechanism distinguishes organs from other keyboard instruments like pianos, which produce sound through hammers striking strings.


What vibrates in the electric keyboard piano?

The sound is created by air passing through pipes. There are two main classes of organ pipes; flue pipes and reed pipes. Flue pipes are like whistles. There are no moving parts. There are both open and closed (stopped) flue pipes. Reed pipes produce their sound with a thin brass tongue that vibrates against a tube with a closed end called a shallot. This is attached to a larger pipe called a resonator. Depending on the shape of the pipe and the metal combinations used during the manufacturing of the organ pipe, various types of sound will be heard. Each pipe is tuned to a certain pitch ... middle A for instance is tuned (under ideal conditions) to 440 Hz, or 440 cycles per second.


What is a musical stop?

A musical stop is a device used in pipe organs that controls the flow of air to specific ranks of pipes, allowing the organist to select different timbres and sounds. Each stop corresponds to a particular set of pipes, and when engaged, it allows those pipes to sound when a key is played. This enables a wide variety of tonal combinations and is essential for creating the rich and diverse sound characteristic of organ music. The term can also refer to similar mechanisms in other keyboard instruments, like the harpsichord.

What is arank on a pipe organ?

Simply put, a set of pipes. There can be as few as 12 and as many as 97. In "straight organs" the number of pipes corresponds to the number of keys but sometimes 12 pipes are added to the top end for an octave coupler. "unit organs will have extended ranks that can be played at different pitch levels, thus one will see 73, 85 and 97 pipe ranks. "Short ranks" are those of limited compass or those which repeat over the full compass of the keyboard.
