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.'
