A reed pipe comprises a metal tongue (the reed) which rests against a shallot, in which is carved a tunnel. The reed and shallot are held in place by a wooden wedge. This assembly protrudes from the underside of the block and hangs down into the boot. A tuning wire is inserted through the boot and is bent to hold the reed against the shallot.
A hand-pumped Indian harmonium, of the type used in South Asia, here used at a European jazz festival.. The pump organ or reed organ is a type of organ using free-reeds that generates sound as air flows past the free-reeds, the vibrating pieces of thin metal in a frame.
Human brain organoid Organoid intelligence (OI) action plan and research trajectories. Organoid intelligence (OI) is an emerging field of study in computer science and biology that develops and studies biological wetware computing using 3D cultures of human brain cells (or brain organoids) and brain-machine interface technologies.

A flask containing human cerebral organoids. A neural, or brain organoid, describes an artificially grown, in vitro, tissue resembling parts of the human brain.Neural organoids are created by culturing pluripotent stem cells into a three-dimensional culture that can be maintained for years.
Vox humana pipes. The vox humana (Latin for "human voice"; also "voz humana" in Spanish and Portuguese, "voix humaine" in French and "voce umana" in Italian, although "voce umana" is also a term for a celeste stop, q.v.) is a short-resonator reed stop on the pipe organ, so named because of its supposed resemblance to the human voice.

The brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals. It consists of nervous tissue and is typically located in the head ( cephalization ), usually near organs for special senses such as vision , hearing and olfaction .
A reed is fixed by one end in a close-fitting frame. The loose end has a slight rising bend. Air depression is applied under the reed; the reed prevents air flow, except for a small, high-velocity flow at the tip. The reed is sucked through the opening, allowing the air to pass. The elasticity of the reed forces it back through the frame.
The Grand Ophicleide in the Boardwalk Hall Organ, Atlantic City, New Jersey, is recognized as the loudest organ stop in the world, voiced on 100" wind pressure (0.25 bar). [1] Its tone is described by Guinness World Records as having "a pure trumpet note of ear-splitting volume, more than six times the volume of the loudest locomotive whistle."
