What instruments do pirates play?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, pirates are all about the Accordion and the concertina. They love to serenade you with some sea shanties while they're plundering and stuff. Like, who needs a guitar when you've got a parrot on your shoulder and a peg leg to tap out the beat?

Answer 2

There is no particular connection between pirates and flutes that I'm aware of. Some individual pirates may have played a musical instrument, of course, but it certainly wasn't a case of "Welcome to the Sea Dog, ye scurvy lubber, here's yer Flute."

You may possibly be thinking of a Boatswain's (Bosun's) Call (also sometimes called a "Boatswain's Pipe"), which is actually a type of whistle, not really a "flute". The high pitched whistle/flute you hear in nautical-ish movies (they do it in Star Trek sometimes) when the Captain comes aboard is played on a bosun's call.

Answer 3

There are a number of Musical Instruments that pirates would have played. These instruments include the drum because it was easy to make.

Answer 4

Either nothing or possibly a flute related instrument or an accordion.
