WHAT DOES FLUE PIPE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

flue pipe

Flue pipe

A flue pipe is an organ pipe that produces sound through the vibration of air molecules, in the same manner as a recorder or a whistle. Air under pressure is driven down a flue and against a sharp lip called a Labium, causing the column of air in the pipe to resonate at a frequency determined by the pipe length. Thus, there are no moving parts in a flue pipe. This is in contrast to reed pipes, which are driven by a beating reed, as in a clarinet. Flue pipes are common components of pipe organs.

Definition of flue pipe in the English dictionary

The definition of flue pipe in the dictionary is an organ pipe or tubular instrument of the flute family whose sound is produced by the passage of air across a sharp-edged fissure in the side. This sets in motion a vibrating air column within the pipe or instrument.
