The mouth or lip of the pipes is designed to produce a smooth and controlled sound. The design and dimensions of the pipes contribute to the flute-like timbre of the Spitzflöte, creating a bright and expressive sound that blends well with other stops in the organ. Overall, the Spitzflöte stop is characterized by its clarity, purity, and singing quality, making it a versatile and commonly used stop in pipe organs.
