Tabor pipes in G, Bb, C, and D

This is a whistle with three finger holes that you can play with one hand, leaving the other hand free to bang a "tabor" drum.

This is the classic medieval and renaissance one-man-band, essential for throwing a proper party throughout period. Shakespear's fool William Kemp once danced a jig for nine days and covered a hundred miles to the sound of pipe and tabor.

By using the second, third and fourth registers of the pipe you can play a complete scale over about an octave and a half. The different registers are reached by blowing harder or softer. Madness! It becomes natural with a little practice. Now play the drum at the same time.
