Chaucer tells us that bagpipes were a feature of medieval English life: the Miller pipes his fellow pilgrims on their way in the Canterbury Tales. Images tell us that medieval pipes were mouth blown, usually had a conical bore, a single drone and a large round bag. They were probably loud, in other words. No examples have survived and the historical images and carvings are not necessarily true to life. The dulcimer (the ‘c’ is pronounced like ‘s’) is a wonderful instrument related to the zither. Its etymology is Latin dulcis and Greek melos: literally ‘sweet song’. It resembles a flat soundbox, which rests on a stand: there are strings stretched across it, and the musician hammers the strings with little mallets. Or at least, I think this is what the D&D dulcimer is referring to. There is also the Appalachian dulcimer, but that’s much more modern and played more like a guitar. According to Song and Silence, zithers are popular with humans and gnomes; the latter particularly appeals to me for some reason.Hornpipes are instruments with one or more pipes that have single reeds that terminate in a resonator made of horn. Simple instruments may consist of little more than the reed, the pipe, and the resonator. More complex instruments may have multiple pipes held in a common yoke, multiple resonators, or horn mouthpieces to facilitate playing. They are known from a broad region extending from India in the east to Spain in the west that includes north Africa and most of Europe. [10] See also [ edit ]

This apparently doesn't require concentration, making it an incredibly powerful uncommon magic item for T1/T2 play. (Might be less of an issue with T3/T4 with a lot of creatures with fear/charm immunity or magic resistance/high Wis saves.) Pan pipes, also known as pan flutes, are typically made of bamboo or other types of wood. They consist of a series of tubes of varying lengths that are bound together side by side. The tubes are open at one end and closed at the other, and each tube produces a different note when blown into. The pipe and tabor was a common combination throughout Asia in the medieval period, and remains popular in some parts of Europe and the Americas today. The English pipe and tabor had waned in popularity, but had not died out before a revival by Morris dance musicians in the early 20th century.A pipe is a tubular wind instrument in general, or various specific wind instruments. [1] The word is an onomatopoeia, and comes from the tone which can resemble that of a bird chirping [ citation needed]. Ah, the lute, perhaps the most popular bardic instrument of them at all. It has prehistoric origins: there were lute-like instruments in ancient Greece and Rome and later in Africa, China, and India (the sitar is a kind of lute). Song and Silence considers it the most popular of the three ‘prime’ bardic instruments along with the lapharp and fiddle, neither of which appears in the PH. Flutes: Wind instruments that produce a clear, sweet tone. Flutes come in many different shapes and sizes, and can be made from a variety of materials. Panpipes were also used in ancient China where they were shaped to resemble the wings of a phoenix. The Chinese panpipes continued to have associations with the phoenix decoratively and musically. The Romans brought the bagpipes to Britain from the Middle East, and they’re mentioned in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, where it is said of Robin the Miller that “A baggepipe wel koude he blowe”. But, while the instrument’s popularity waned in England, it endured in the Highlands. “Clan chiefs had their own pipers,” says Roddy Livingstone, one of England’s few pibroch teachers. “It was an outdoor instrument. Messages could be transmitted long distances using the pipes. They might announce births or deaths, or call the clan together for a gathering. On the battlefield, the pipes would drive the men on or pull them into a retreat.” Being a clan’s piper was a hereditary position. “The MacCrimmons are the most famous hereditary pipers. They were pipers to the Clan MacLeod of Dunvegan in Skye for 400 years.”
