  the wooden shutters are pneumatic, and serve as the 'volume control' for the organ, opening to allow more sound to escape the organ chamber (pipe room); all of this is powered by a large blower usually in the basement........ sort of a turbine with a large AC motor turning it......... and (if I remember right) approximately a 5 inch air line running out of it.............
