Languid height governs air direction and thus promptness of pipe speech
Evidence
The languid controls, in part, the direction of the air flowing from the flue. If it is too high, the pipe will be slow to speak and may not speak at all if the air misses the upper lip completely. If it is too low, the pipe will speak too quickly or speak in an uncontrolled manner. — David M. Howard, Jamie Angus, Acoustics and Psychoacoustics, 1149
