A description of the various types of organ pipes, their historical roots, and a demonstration of their tone quality using a set of actual pipes that all sound the same pitch.
Best explanation on organ pipes I have found on KZitem thus far, thank you!

The most common pipes: Principal, Diapason, Octave, Super Octave, Mixtures, Scharf, and Tierce. Principal and Diapason pipes range from 32' 16' 8' 4' and 2'. Octave pipe are 4'. Super Octave is 2'. Mixtures are 2-2/3'. Scharf are 2-2/3'. Tierce is 1-3/5'. Scharf, Tierce and Mixtures are mutation stops. Mixture II, Mixture III, Mixture IV, Mixture V, Scharf II, Scharf III, Mixture II means one key plays 2 pipes at once. Mixture III means one key plays 3 pipes at once, Mixture IV means that one key plays 4 pipes at once, Mixture V means that one key plays 5 pipes at once. Tht Mixtures, Scharf, and Tierce pipes are the size of either a #2 pencil or a straw and not to be played by themselves, they're only used to be a topping for other main sounds, while the 32' 16' 8' 4' and 2' pipes can be played on their own without the pencil or straw sized pipes added.

@@holmespianotuning Given oxygen, lead will form an oxide later, which is subject to rubbing off in your mouth, and slightly water soluble. The problems may not be visible for a long time, but since the biological half life of lead is best measured in years or maybe even decades, it will accumulate. Edit: A report just came out (heard on BBC, original source The Lancet) indicating that lead is a LOT worse than had previously been believed, both for brain cells and cardiovascular health.

Professional organ builders also get lead poisoning, it's still LEAD, and breathing in hot MOIST air into a pipe while holding it with bare hands that have sweat or oils on them is not good, especially for reeds. One shouldnt touch pipes with anything other than gloves, and instead of putting a dirty lead toe tip in your mouth you can cup the toe in your closed fist sticking out from the pinky and blow thru the opening created by your thumb and forefinger and not get lead on your lips. @@holmespianotuning

I get that the tapered flute pipe has a sound half way between the wider pipe and the narrower one, but how does the tapering affect the sound compared to a pipe of constant average width? For example how does the sound of a pipe that starts 3 inches in diameter and tapers to 1 inch in diameter compare to the sound of a pipe that is a constant 2 inches in diameter?

This is very good! though I hope the lead toes have some kind of clear coating on them so bare lead isn't being applied to your lips! What would be really good is to construct a small pallet box that air can be introduced into with a small blower to sound each pipe with exactly the same pressure and temperature. Blowing air from lungs into a pipe changes in both pressure and temperature which affects speech and pitch.

Shame on you for blowing into these pipes. A renowned organ builder once told me NEVER blow into an organ pipe, as the humidity in your breath will distort and/or possibly detune a pipe. Use a small air supply next time.

Professional organ tuner here. I’m afraid you are mostly completely incorrect. Flue pipes are often blown during the voicing process to see what point they will overblow and will not be damaged in any way, shape or form by being blown or the moisture from breath. It is only reeds which should not be blown as the moisture can encourage the formation of verdigris on the brass, having said that there is no harm in blowing one only used for demonstration purposes. Reeds are not blown by mouth during the voicing process as it would not tell you anything useful.

Stick to pianos, doing that during VOICING tests is not the same thing, and the pipes would be on the voicing machine in the shop for the most part and get cleaned afterwards before installation. Of course for DEMO purposes nobidy cares, those are junked pipes anyway, but trying to demo them by blowing in them is a poor way to do it, pressure and temperature varies widely. Much better to just construct a little pallet box or a box with Peterson valves, put some wind in it and the pressure and temperature is constant and the same. @@holmespianotuning

Well actually, the point of their existance is to demo the different types of pipes, but handling and mouthing the lead as well as variability of air pressure and temperature makes a demo harder, it would be better to get a little offset windchest or make one with holes and a rackboard for the pipes, and use some Peterson chest valves and a small blower. Ony need a little battery to run the valves, or use pallets and they can be depressed to sound each pipe with the same air pressure and temperature, and they could be demo'd sounding together as a chorus of 2 to 5 or more pipes.
