The taborer’s pipe has none of the sweetness of the recorder; it is essentially a shrill instrument; indeed, I am told by a philologist that its old German name _Schwegel_ contains a root implying shrillness.

But in the taborer’s pipe the whole of the workable scale consists of harmonics; what corresponds to the lower octave in the penny whistle—the non-harmonic or fundamental part of the register—can only be faintly sounded.

The ordinary work-a-day scale of the taborer’s pipe corresponds to the 12 or 13 uppermost notes of a seven octave P-F., or to the upper notes of a piccolo.

Forsyth speaks of “an instrument with only a few notes” as being “much restricted in the way of compass”: {105c} this is not quite just to the taborer’s pipe.
