Yeah and is the pressure sensor closed so you're actually not blowing but just increasing and decreasing pressure?

No, not really. There is sensing tube (which terminates on the sensor) and a venting tube (which lets the air flow through). This is the same technique used in other similar commercial instruments. You can see both tubes in the assembly instructions: https://github.com/jcard0na/haxo-hw/blob/main/docs/assembly....
Ahh that makes sense! So is this actually sensing a lower pressure than ambient? Since moving air results in lower pressure?
