  Bourdon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name Bourdun is derived from the French word for 'buzz' and normally denotes a stopped flute/flue type of pipe in an organ, though in organ building the stop has no "buzz", but rather a very dark, heavy tone, strong in fundamental, with little overtone development.
Bourdon is a stopped pipe, having an airtight stopper fitted into the top.
In a church or theatre organ so small as to have only one 16' stop in the pedal division, it will almost invariably be a bourdon, as the deep, dark and penetrating tone can be clearly heard under soft or loud combinations, and blends well with all sounds of the organ.
