Abstract
A fipple for a bladed edge or labium lip resonated musical wind instrument, such as a tin whistle, Irish whistle or recorder, is constructed with a windway, blade and mouth. The two-piece tip and body fipple facilitates precise and accurate machined geometries. These geometries include but are not limited to chamfered windway openings and curved labium lips for extra sympathetic harmonics or “tone color”. The two-piece design also facilitates the use of two different materials, the tip may be constructed from a material that is comfortable and safe to hold in a human mouth and the body or blade material may be constructed from a metallic material to maximize volume and wind efficiency.
