0 the part of some musical instruments, such as a recorder or pipe, that the player puts into his or her mouth and blows:
A flute is an instrument played by blowing across a mouth-hole or (as in the recorder) against a sharp edge, or fipple.
It is technically easier to play an instrument with a fipple than a transverse flute.
An iron age fipple flute made from sheep bone has been found.
Another local artist installed plastic bottles with cut fipples, whistling bottle sticks, whining tones.
Unlike a recorder or tin whistle, there is not a ducted flue voicing, also known as a fipple.
Usually made of wood, it has 6 finger holes, fipple on mouth end and free hole on distant end.
This allows the player a wide range of expression in pitch, volume, and timbre, especially in comparison to fipple/ducted flutes.
