Pipe organ

Pipe organs were unmovably huge and the most complex and of all musical instruments, consisting of a system of metal tubes, wooden shafts, usually controlled by two sets of keyboards.

Description
These huge and stationary instruments consisted of hundreds of metallic pipes that rose up from the organ's body. These vertical tubes varied in length, from a mere to as tall as. Some of the pipes were controlled by upright wooden shafts and clogs that gave tones produced increased tonal depth and range. The sound was produced via a set of sizable bellows that pushed the air through the sounding pipes. The sound was controlled via sets of keyboards (two to five) and each could be set to imitate different instruments or even a combination. The keyboard's connection to pipes and the produced sound was controlled by a set of pedals, or steps, that allowed the air to travel from bellows to a particular set of pipes.
