Known as a "Fife," this small instrument is typically used in military or marching bands. It is similar to a flute, but louder and more shrill than a piccolo. It is classified as a woodwind, a wind instrument, or an aerophone. The fife originated in medieval Europe and someone who plays the fife is called a fifer. The word 'fife' comes from the German word "Pfeife," meaning 'pipe.'

What was the purpose of the alto saxophone?
Originally, the soprano was one of seven instruments in the saxophone family patented by Adolphe Sax in 1846. At that time the soprano might have taken the lead voice in a saxophone choir or served as the top woodwind voice in a military band. It has come to be used primarily as a solo instrument in jazz or popular music combos. Because the soprano sax can sound shrill and is very difficult to play in tune, some people might say there is no good reason for Adolphe to have invented it.
Which is called as queen of musical instruments?
Because it is the largest of all the instruments - by far. Even small village church pipe organs can occupy a floor area of 60+ square feet and have a height of 12 feet or more. Large cathedral instruments are much much bigger often occupying chambers as large as several large rooms. Even a small village church organ can contain 500+ pipes (most are inside and not on view) whereas cathedral organs can contain several thousands of pipes ranging from 32 feet in length down to around 3/4/ inch or less. The largest instrument - the King of Kings as it were, is in the Atlantic City Auditorium, USA. Played from a console containing 7 keyboards (manuals) stacked on top of each other, plus a pedal board (and also another moveable console with 5 keyboards and a pedal board), this mammoth machine has over 33,000 pipes, over 1,400 stops (to control sets of pipes) and has pipes ranging from tiny ones 1/2 inch or less creating a shrill whistle almost outside the human range of hearing, to a huge pedal pipe over 64 feet in length, producing such a low note that it is more of a stomach-wrenching rumble. This instrument also produces the loudest sound of any instrument - a reed pipe that has an ear-splitting trumpet tone that is six times louder than the loudest train whistles. Truly a King amongst instruments.
