We’re looking for a five-letter word for the across section numbered 6 for this NYT Mini Crossword Puzzle dated September 11, 2024. The clue is a pipe or pump instrument, so we’re looking for a musical instrument that can be either form. It wouldn’t be any of those stringed instruments, so we’re looking for something big.
A musical instrument that can be a pipe or a pump type
The answer to this clue is the ORGAN. That same organ, which is often referred to as a large piano. There are those made from special metallic pipes. The pipe ones are usually bigger than the pumps. They have a lot of pipes that stretch out, and the music spreads all over the place. This one is usually used in churches.
The pump organ is often smaller. You can see that it has something like a cover on the back. While not as big or as fancy as a pipe one, the pump can do its job. One could even say that it is a fancier piano with its features.
