pipes

When used in a social or vocal context, it shifts from the image of a tube to the sound of a small flute. This gives the word a light, often childlike or surprising quality, as if a small voice is suddenly breaking through a silence.
Countable when referring to individual tubes or smoking devices. Uncountable when referring to the general plumbing system of a house.
Meanings
A musical instrument consisting of several tubes played by blowing.
