The recorder is a woodwind instrument and member of the
family known as fipple flutes or internal duct flutes.
The fipple or block is a wooden plug found at the mouth
of the instrument. This plug constricts the air as the
player blows into the end of the instrument. There are
holes for seven fingers, with the lower one or two
often doubled to facilitate the production of
semi-tones. There is also a hole for the thumb of the
uppermost hand.
