The rauschpfeife is a Medieval woodwind instrument and was very popular in its time. Definitely meant for outside playing because it is very LOUD!

The rauschpfeife is a double reed instrument. The reed is covered by a windcap. So you don't blow directly on the reed but on the mouthpiece.
You have to maintain a lot of pressure in the blowing for the tone to sound good. When the pressure lowers the tone sags :^) I play a soprano rauschpfeife by Moeck.

This is the most difficult instrument I have played so far... but it is fun.

  • interessant!

    klingt wie so eine Pfeiffe vom Dudelsack.

    Erinnert auch an mittelalterliche Klänge.

  • Haha.. ja, es ist auch ein mittelalterliches instrument! Auch SEHR LAUT!

  • Hey Cobi,

    My Mrs. & are enjoying your music very much. :^)

  • Thank you both for your support!

    Love, Cobi

  • Wonderful play! you are so considerate that you played in the basement so not to disturb your neighbors.

    Happy New Year. ♪ღ♪*•.¸¸ღ♥ღ¸¸¸.•*¨*•♪ღ♪*•.¸¸ღ♥

  • Not the basement, it is a factory where I can practice after working hours! In the basement of my appartment building I would still be a nuisance to my neighbors! :^)

    Thanks for all your lovely comments this year!

    Happy New Year and a big hug!

    Cobi

  • Bravo! This video is close to my heart! In the summer when I'm not teaching, I work as a custodian. I stay after work to practice tekerölant (Hungarian hurdy gurdy), also a VERY loud instrument. I can't play at home because my wife would eventually throw me and my crazy instruments to the curb! She is more than a little uneasy that I am listening to Rauschpfeife now. Even so, I want to hear more. Where did you buy it? Who do you play with? How do you learn?

  • Oh fucking fuck!

  • oh it's wassailing...

    "wassail, wassail, all over the town..."

  • Dankjewel Bruno! Het instrument valt niet mee. Voor je het weet zit je te loeien als een scheepstoeter!

    Liefs, Cobi
