Fipple Flutes are instruments that generate sound via a fipple, a narrow windway and a blade-like edge which sets up a standing wave down the instrument. The recorder is the most common of these instruments, their shrill ear-piercing voice often heard in schools. These are the main families and their sub-families. The oddness of some of these can be debated; recorders generally aren't odd, but the extreme sizes are.
