They are sounded by a reed which moves down the pipe thus changing its length and the frequency of the note produced. Other organ pipe experiments can be seen here

An induction microphone amplifies the sound of the capacitor in a camera flash as it charges and discharges. The rotating steel drum in the middle moves the balloons and triggers a microswitch which sets off the flash unit. The sound is transmitted through an amplifier and speaker onto the pen. The drum rotates the manuscript paper. The device writes its own score as it plays.
