What is the function of the organ's stop?
The organ's stop controls the flow of the air into the pipes.
Why are the pipes on a church organ all different lengths?
The differing lengths of pipes are what allow the organ to produce different pitches. Pitch (frequency) is directly related to pipe length. The longer the pipe the lower the pitch. This gives rise to the standard organ terminology that tells the performer at what pitch level a stop (or set of pipes) will sound. This is determined by the theoretical length of the lowest pipe in a particular stop. An 8-foot stop produces notes of unison pitch (on the manual keyboards - 16' for the pedal keyboard). A 4-foot stop produces pitches an octave higher than unison. A 2-foot stop is 2 octaves above unison. A 16-foot stop is one octave below unison, etc.
Is a trombone a open or closed organ pipe?
Open. Trombone is a reed stop of the trumpet class with full length (or harmonic) resonators. Construction varies from builder to builder but all are, without exception, open.
Why does the pipe organ have key ranks?
Key Ranks: No such term exists in pipe organ nomenclature. "Keys" may refer to the keys of the keyboards - either the manual keyboards, standard modern compass 61 notes or the pedal keyboards, standard modern compass 32 notes. "Ranks" refer to a set of pipes, typically 61 pipes for a manual rank on a "striaght rank" or up to 97 on a "unit rank." "Stop keys" refer a method of stop controls - sometimes called "Stop tablets" or "Tabs." Other types of stop controls are drawknobs, tilting tablets or rocker tablets and other less common types of controls.
What is the cost of a 32' set of wooden pipes for pipe organ?
One may purchase a small, used pipe organ for under $10,000 (American). However, new pipe organs cost at least $10,000 per rank average. A typical, medium sized church organ will have between 12 and 20 ranks.

What is the meanig of the phrase pull out all the stops come from?
The term "stops", as used here refers to air valve controls used on pipe organs to allow or interupt the flow of air from the organ's bellows or blower motor into the various wind chests for the particular ranks of pipes it controls. In other words, each rank of pipes in a pipe organ is designed to produce sounds of a specific tonal color. A "stop" contol for each rank is built in to the organ console to allow the organist to select which rank or ranks of pipes are activated as he or she plays. Generally, these are in the form of "draw knobs" with an engraved heads providing the names of each stop. The stop knob is drawn or pulled out to allow air to flow into the windchest channel under the rank of pipes it controls. Then as keys are pressed, smaller valves under each pipe controlled by those pressed keys allow the air to actually reach the toe of the pipe causing it to sound. A stop knob is pushed in to shut off air flow to each rank of pipes. Obviously, the more stop knobs you pull out, the louder and more powerful the organ's sound becomes, as you play. The phrase "pulling out all the stops" is a way, based on the pipe organ and the organists, of saying: "Give all you've got!". Or, "Turn it up to 11!" if you prefer.
