The cylindrical pipe, coupled to a reed mouthpiece, acts acoustically as a stopped pipe (closed at one end).
The chalumeau was a stopped pipe (an octave lower in pitch than a comparable open pipe) and, unlike the clarinet, did not overblow to a register above the fundamental (the clarinet's low range is still termed its chalumeau range).
The non-stop pipe smoking made Timberlake so sick that he "could not stir for several hours".
The fixed reed and fairly uniform diameter of the clarinet give the instrument an acoustical behavior approximating that of a cylindrical stopped pipe.
Concealed behind a flap in the tiger's flank is the small ivory keyboard of a two-stop pipe organ in the tiger's body, allowing tunes to be played.
The common discourse surrounding water infrastructure improvements in the U.S. tends to stop at pipes, reservoirs, water mains and treatment plants.
City water managers also failed to put in a corrosion control inhibitor, a chemical that most large community water systems add to stop lead pipes in their system from corroding.
In France only the Auditorium Maurice Ravel, in Lyon, still has an organ, an old Cavaillé-Coll (82 stops, 6,500 pipes) purchased from the Palais de Trocadéro in Paris in 1977.
For a given pipe to sound, the stop governing the pipe's rank must be engaged, and the key corresponding to its pitch must be depressed.
