How is the pitch altered on a recorder?

To alter the pitch on a recorder to accord with other instruments, carefully adjust the first joint (the one nearest the fipple). Pulling it apart will lower the pitch. The cheapest recorders are moulded in one piece from the top to just one note above the lowest; if you have one of these you can't tune it.


What music family is the pipe and tabor in?

They are two separate instruments or instrument families, each played with a separate hand. The "tabor" is a snare drum played with one stick and secured to the arm, which is a percussion instrument, and the "pipe" or "3 hole pipe" is a specific type of fipple flute, which is a specific type of woodwind. The "pipe" is different from other fipple flutes because it has only three holes and relies on overtones heavily. There isn't much to say that a "pipe and tabor" refers to any specific pair of instruments beyond this, which means that it really is two families of instruments, not necessarily a specific drum and woodwind. Examples of "pipes" include the English tabor pipe, txistu, and fujara. Sources: Wikipedia and The Taborers Society website
