Rauschpfeife Totally Explained

Everything about The Rauschpfeife totally explained

The rauschpfeife is a musical instrument of the woodwind family, originally popular in Europe in the mid-16th Century. In common with the crumhorn and cornamuse, it's a wooden double-reed instrument with the reed enclosed in a windcap. The player blows into a slot in the top of the windcap to produce the sound.
   Rauschpfeifes differ from crumhorns mainly in the shape of the body, which, like the shawm, is conical. This design has the consequence that the instrument is exceedingly loud, which made it an appropriate tool for striking fear in the enemy during battle.
   The word 'rauschpfeife', in addition to referring to a specific wind instrument, was sometimes used to denote woodwind instruments in general: for example an order placed for instruments by the Nuremberg town council in 1538 indicated a need for 'rauschpfeiffen', but when the order was filled, it included recorders, cornetts, shawms and other instruments, but none specifically named 'rauschpfeife' .
   As with many instruments of this period and genre, the rauschpfeife has undergone something of a revival in recent decades; examples are currently being made and played by early music enthusiasts worldwide.
