This Pipe Organ Is Made From Paper

In this video, we watch a demonstration of a pipe organ that is made entirely from paper. If you have heard a pipe organ before, which we are sure you have, you will know that these instruments have a distinct sound, and to be able to recreate this sound using a simple material like paper is pretty amazing.

From information provided in the build description (translated from Russian thanks to Google Translate):

The means in which he actually creates sound using this paper device is with a balloon, using its air pressure to power the traditional pipes and valves of an organ. All of which, are made solely of paper.
