Functioning much like a pan flute the cluster shape disallows the tubes to easily be blown with a clear tone, and instead incentivize playing the tubes with an airy and imprecise timbre. When tubes are played multiple pipes frequently sound and generate chance operation harmonic structure.

The player growls into the instrument, changing the tone using the vocal tracts and an enharmonic shift is produced by covering and uncovering the opening 'lips' of the instrument.

Unlike other edge blown flutes which blow air parallel to an edge so that the column of air can be cut in half, the direction of air on this mechanism is perpendicular to the edge that generates the oscillation of the sound. The system functions by forcing the air out of the mechanism edge with two options of edges for the air to flow into, the internal standing waves… text/html 2025-03-05T23:49:40+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://tle.wesleyhicks.art/old?rev=1741218580&do=diff OLD MATERIALS PAGELIST locations sidebar start __template Sidebar Locations Time Essays Resources Rules and Intentions Principles and terminology NOTES tagless tle all text/html 2025-03-18T08:03:27+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://tle.wesleyhicks.art/pathetic_lips?rev=1742285007&do=diff PATHETIC LIPS The pathetic lips are a double (single/lamell) reed instrument that work by having the direction of their reeds reversed.

The traditional Putorino is an interesting case study of an instrument. There are multiple playing techniques that use the instruments body in a variety of ways. Most commonly the instrument is used as an edge blown flute, but there is an advanced technique that also uses it as a labrophone.
