What is a blockflute?

Block flute is an English literal translation of the German Block Flote (with an umlaut over the o in flote) which primarily meant the instrument we now call Recorder. The name refers to the wooden shaped block, called a 'fipple' in England, which fits into the player's end of the bore. It is shaped to form the bottom of the windway (the top and sides are cut into the body of the instrument) and the bottom of the mouthpiece, as such. The fipple-flutes (recorder, pennywhistle, flageolet) used a shaped windway to direct the player's air to a carved 'lip' or 'labium', where the air would vibrate the air column in the bore. Fingering the holes changes the length of the bore, changing the pitch played. Because the player's lips do not form the stream of air, fipple flutes are claimed to have less expressive capabilities than the transverse flutes, where the player controls the stream of air, directing it against the far side of a later hole in the body. While this is true as relates to volume, other performance techniques (ornamentation, time-adjustment, and to some extent articulation) allow the fipple flutes to be played with great 'affekt'.


How is the sound produced with the recorder?

by a computer stupid!no evidently this is not the answer that people were looking for and the person calling people stupid is the stupid one. sorry to break it to you. the real answer however is that the wavelengths are recorded when a person is talking. so now you know that sound is not just recorded "by a computer" stupid.


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
