As the crank is moved, the worm gear rotates the barrel and drives the bellows that inject air into the wind chest with the valves. Pins and bridges raise the keys that open the valves of the corresponding pipes; the air from the wind chest enters the wind pipes and make them sound. Music media: pinned barrel.
