The mouthpiece was a flat bit of ivory or bone. The chamber inside the windcap was intended to collect moisture and prevent it from entering the duct, employing differing devices for that purpose. The stream of air passing through the duct crosses the window and is split by the labium (also lip or edge) giving rise to a musical sound.
It uses a slight rolling in of both lips and touching evenly all the way across. It also uses mouthpiece placement of about 40–50% top lip and 50–60% lower lip. The teeth will be about 1 ⁄ 4 to 1 ⁄ 2 inch (6 to 13 mm) apart and the teeth are parallel or the jaw slightly forward. There is relative mouthpiece pressure to the given air column.
The name can apply to variety of wind instruments, but in general sense it is a pipe with 4-8 finger holes. These instruments are 1.5–2.5 cm in diameter and can be anywhere from 20 to 40 cm in length. Stabules have either fipple or reed.
