'''Scaling''' is the [[ratio]] of an [[organ pipe]]'s [[diameter]] to its length. The scaling of a pipe is a major influence on its [[timbre]]. [[Reed pipe]]s are scaled according to different formulas than for [[flue pipe]]s. In general, the larger the diameter of a given pipe at a given [[pitch (music)|pitch]], the fuller and more [[Harmonic series (music)|fundamental]] the sound becomes.
