He aha te takirere?
I roto i te hangarau miihini, he taputapu hei whakahaere i te rere o ngā wai (wai, hau, paru) i roto i te paipa, i tētahi atu ārai rānei. Ko te whakahaere mā te whakamahi i tētahi wāhanga neke e whakatuwhera ana, e kati ana, e ārai ana rānei i tētahi whakatuwheratanga i roto i tētahi ara. E whitu ngā momo matua o ngā takirere: he porowhita, he kēti, he ngira, he mono (kōpiko), he pūrerehua, he poppet, me te spool.

Me pēhea te mahi a ngā takirere?
He taputapu miihini te takirere e aukati ana i te paipa, ahakoa wāhanga, ahakoa katoa, hei whakarerekē i te nui o te wai e tika ana mā roto.

Kei hea ngā takirere whakahaere taonga e whakamahia ana?
He takirere whakahaere te takirere e whakamahia ana hei whakahaere i te rere o te wai mā te whakarerekē i te rahi o te rerenga e ai ki te tohu mai i te kaiwhakahaere. Mā tēnei ka taea te whakahaere tika i te tere rere me te whakahaere i ngā rahinga tukanga pēnei i te pēhanga, te pāmahana, me te taumata wai.

He aha ngā momo takirere rerekē?
He maha ngā momo takirere e wātea ana: te kuaha, te porowhita, te mono, te pōro, te pūrerehua, te tirotiro, te diaphragm, te pītiti, te whakaiti pēhanga, te takirere whakahaere me ētahi atu. He maha ngā tauira o ia momo, he rerekē ngā āhuatanga me ngā āheinga mahi.

He aha ngā momo takirere e whakamahia ana mō?
Ko ngā takirere mono (ngā takirere nohoanga), ngā takirere pōro, me ngā takirere pūrerehua ngā momo takirere e whakamahia whānuitia ana i roto i te pūnaha whakamahana, whakapūhautanga, me te hauhautanga. Ko ētahi atu takirere e whakamahia ana i roto i te pūnaha ko ngā takirere kēti maripi, ngā takirere diaphragm, me ngā takirere kēti.
