Fipple flute - definition Fipple flutes are end-blown flutes that are found in the folk music of many different cultures all over the world. The top end is stopped with a block (fipple) except for a small, flat opening for blowing, and there is a notch (duct) in the top side of the pipe near the blowing end. The "fipple" is a wedge of wood inserted into the blowing end creating a narrow passage through which air passes to encounter a "lip" cut near the mouthpiece end of the instrument thus causing vibrations. www.fujara.sk /about/comments/woodwinds/fipple_flute.htm   (89 words)

[No title] The most important thing here is that the windway have approximately the same height all the way along, and that, looking through the bottom end of the pipe, you be able to see a *small* crack of light through the mouthpiece. It's a bit tricky when the fipple is sticking out the end of the tube by a few inches, but holding the whistle sideways, like a flute, and covering the end of the mouthpiece with your mouth, it should be possible to sound a note. So it seems better to make the fipple so that the windway is quite shallow, and then steadily strengthen the tone by sanding it down, until it plays where you want it. www.ceolas.org /instruments/Whistle_making   (2001 words)

Dolmetsch Online - Recorder Method Glossary of Recorder Terms Both the Century Dictionary (1898), a rich mine of etymology, and the Oxford English dictionary state that the origin is obscure, but the Oxford asserts that fipple is probably related to Icelandic _flipi_ "the lip of a horse." The word fipple in Engl. What is interesting about the possible relation between fipple and lip is that "lip" variants often refer only to the lower lip, but also by extension they refer in general to the rim of an opening. Thus the fipple, or lip, of a recorder may be thought of as the rim of the windway, which is produced in its lower part by the block, and which takes the place of the lips themselves as the windway for a transverse flute. www.dolmetsch.com /Glossary.htm   (988 words)

So it seems better to make the fipple so that the windway is quite shallow, and then steadily strengthen the tone by sanding it down, until it plays where you want it. An idea here is to roughly cut away the back of the block, then stick it back into the whistle and use a power sander to grind the fipple down to be flush with the end of the pipe. www.bc1.com /~ereiswig/whismake.htm   (1991 words)
