- This video helps to understand how an instrument with only three finger holes can play such a range of notes.
As an overtone flute, the taborer can use breath control to bring out the harmonics of this simple instrument.
I was introduced to the tabor fife back in 1976 by Dudley Laufman, an Old Time New England dance caller. He suggested that everybody get one and toss it up on the dashboard of their vehicle. Then, whenever you happen to be on an open stretch of highway, you can effortlessly (and somewhat safely) get in some one handed practice. Unlike other small instruments like harmonicas .... etc, they are not temperature sensitive.
Thank you for posting. You've encouraged me to get it out again!
awwwww, so this is what i need to tape next to my tin whistle lol
I ordered the Generation in D yesterday and can't wait until it arrives! Great video! You explained it perfectly.
Did you learn to play it ok. I’ve just ordered one.
@@Sylvia-Storm It's not too difficult. I usually play all my other instruments reading music but not with the tabor pipe. I get confused so I just play by ear. I also keep the range within an octave. Those high notes are a bit deafening!😉 Over all it's really fun to play and I think you'll enjoy it.
@@armenvondoms1815 thank you.
Thanks for this, I came across your channel a while ago and subscribed. I play at a mediaeval banquet (or did before all this other stuff started) and thought I need one of those. I bought the Generation Tabor pipe and thought learning to play it would be a nice lockdown project. Trouble is my family do complain about the higher notes. This is so helpful in giving me more of an understanding of the instrument.
The Generation is a loud pipe and intended to play for dance outdoors, unamplified. You can temper the volume by taping over part of the window. Alternatively there are wooden indoor pipes.
Thank you for sharing this, I bought a Generation pipe and am learning it at the moment. 🙂🎶👍
That’s why I found the tabor pipe so interesting when I first heard about: only 3 holes but such a broad range considering!
Enjoyed this explanation, thank you. Now trying to work out what the intervals of those overtones are.
This is an amazing video with excellent demonstrations. I would however suggest putting a limiter on the output in your DAW so our ears aren't blown in those forceful high registers. Thanks so much for making this great video!
There are many quiet wooden tabor pipes, but the original is intended to be an outdoor instrument. You can temper the volume by taping over part of the window.
@@thetaborerssociety4924 Wow, it's good to know there is a way for bringing the volume down, for playing indoors etc. What do you mean by the flute's "window"? Where should I put the tape?
bravo
oooh interesting! Thank you! Can this be done with a recorder?
But with your left hand free, aren't you supposed to play some kind of shaker or something with it? I thought it was usually played in conjunction with something else.
so.. it's for people missing a hand?
yes but what about breath control?
Can you learn it without ANY knowledge of notes?
