Wikipedia

  1. Fipple

    The term fipple specifies a variety of end-blown flute that includes the flageolet, recorder, and tin whistle. The Hornbostel–Sachs system for classifying musical instruments places this group under the heading "Flutes with duct or duct flutes." The label "fipple flute" is frequently applied to members of the subgroup but there is no general agreement about the structural detail of the sound-producing mechanism that constitutes the fipple, itself.

  1. fipple

    A fipple is a constricted mouthpiece common in many end-blown musical instruments, such as a tin whistle or a recorder. It helps direct airflow and influences the instrument's sound production. The player blows air into the mouthpiece, which hits the edge, making the column of air within the instrument vibrate and produce sound.

Webster Dictionary

  1. Fipplenoun

    a stopper, as in a wind instrument of music

  2. Etymology: [perh. fr. L. fibula a clasp, a pin; cf. Prov. E. fible a stick used to stir pottage.]
