Recorder Mouthpiece

The recorder mouthpiece is a crucial component of the instrument, providing a clear and resonant tone when blown into correctly. Its shape and size are carefully designed to direct airflow over the reed or embouchure hole, producing the characteristic sound of the recorder. Properly constructed recorders typically have a flared bell that helps to project the sound outward, while also reducing the risk of feedback or echoes within the instrument itself.
