Wind-cut′ter.


Music.) In an organ-pipe, the lip or edge against which the issuing sheet of air impinges. The vibration thereby imparted is communicated to the column of air in the pipe, producing a musical note whose pitch is determined by the length of the pipe; the quality of the tone by the size of the pipe, and the material of which it is made.

Bobbin-winder.
