Windcap

 

En: Rauschpfeife, Cs: Vzdušnicová šalmaj, De: Rauschpfeife, Rauschpfeiffe, Fr: Rauschpfeife, Hautbois du Poitou, It: Schreierpfeife

Rauschpfeifen are instruments with a double reed (like the krumhorn and cornamuse) with a very powerful sound, which will project well in an outdoor environment. The name comes from the German rausch (noise) or rusch (reed).

They are windcap instruments with a wide conical bore similar to a shawm, that allows them to be overblown at the octave to give them a range of an octave and a fifth..

Like the rest of the early reed instruments, the rauschpfeife could only play chromatic tones outside the fundamental scale by using cross-fingerings. This weakens the sound of some tones and produces rather unsteady results when played by less experienced performers.
