The eardrum is the first thing that vibrates in response to vibrating air or "sound".

The cochlea is the last step in the process, and instead of vibrating it is filled with fluid that moves in response to vibration on a small window on the side. This moves the cochlear fluid and then is transferred to the brain through small hairs inside the organ.

Three tiny bones (Malleus, Incus, and Stapes) transfer the vibration from the eardrum to the cochlea.

What section of the ear is lined with sensory cells?

The section of the ear known as the cochlea is the part of the ear with sensory cells. Vibrations from outside the ear, go into the ear and vibrate the parts of the ear, then the vibration continues to the cochlea, which is a spiral-shaped sensory organ within the ear that the vibration goes through. The nerves in the cochlea translate the vibrations into nerve signals, which continue to the brain where it is processed into recognizable sound, such as speech.

What is the vibrating part of a recorder?

The vibrating part of a recorder is the mouthpiece, specifically the labium, which is a thin edge that the air passes over when the player blows into the instrument. As air is directed against the labium, it causes the air column inside the recorder to vibrate, producing sound. This vibration is then shaped and modified by the length of the instrument and the opening of the tone holes.
