Pulpit
In the case of the organ, a chamber in the wind chest is referred to as a pulpit , formerly also known as a cancelle , into which, depending on the design, air is admitted by pressing a button ( tone chamber ) or by pulling a register ( register chamber ) , which is then passed on to the organ pipes .
In the case of harmonica instruments , a chamber refers not only to the air duct to one or two reeds , but also to the space into which the reed swings through a slot. With accordions and melodicas , the air supply and discharge to the chambers of individual tones is regulated by means of buttons, with the harmonica the chambers are played directly with the mouth by breathing , whereby the tip of the tongue can also cover cell openings in order to play the tones of not neighboring chambers. The cockpit has two openings, in the reed plate mounted on the comb body the slot, which is 99% covered by the reed, and at right angles to it the comb opening.
