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.

How can I make a PVC panflute at home?
To make a PVC panflute at home, you will need PVC pipes of different lengths, a saw to cut the pipes, and a way to tune the pipes to different notes. Cut the pipes to the desired lengths, arrange them in order from longest to shortest, and secure them together. You can use a heat source to slightly melt the ends of the pipes to create a smooth edge. Experiment with different lengths and diameters to achieve the desired notes.
