The Rauschpfeife (also Rauschpfeiffe) is a historical woodwind instrument with a double reed and wind capsule . The name Rauschpfeife appears early 16th century, from the mid-16th century, it is in almost all sources instead Schreier whistle .

The Rauschpfeife differs from the Renaissance shawl by the wind capsule , the more conical bore and the resulting shorter overall length. The instrument is built in c / f tuning in sopranino, soprano, alto and tenor voices . The bass noise pipe is already very unwieldy and requires a lot of air. The heyday of the Rauschpfeife, like other instruments in its family, was the Renaissance. With the rediscovery of early music , the Rauschpfeife has also gained new popularity.

Most of the Rauschpfeifen built today are technically and optically based on the chanter of the Middle Ages scene and are built using the open German recorder fingering. The range is mostly a ninth. Furthermore, the newer Rauschpfeifen are often only half the size of the instruments from the 1970s, which are often based on the preserved instruments of the so-called Naumburg Collection. The Rauschpfeifen in the Naumburg collection have an exit hole on the back for the sound on almost half of the body, which overrides the musical effectiveness of the lower half of the body.
