Period

Canada

Casavant Frères was established in 1879 in St-Hyacinthe, QC and developed an international reputation for producing high quality pipe organs.

Function

Emit musical sounds by vibration of air blown through a tube.

Technical

Each organ pipe is a specific shape and length. The pitch of the pipe is determined by its length, while the tone quality, or timbre, is a function of its shape and its design: i.e. whether vibration is caused by a beating reed (as in a clarinet) or by air passing over a fipple (as in a whistle or recorder).
