A fife /ˈfaɪf/ is a small, high-pitched, transverse aerophone, that is similar to the piccolo. The fife originated in medieval Europe and is often used in fife and drum corps, military units, and marching bands. Someone who plays the fife is called a fifer. The word fife comes from the German Pfeife, meaning pipe, which comes from the Latin word pipare. Fifes are made primarily of wood, such as blackwood, grenadilla, rosewood, mopane, pink ivory, cocobolo, boxwood, maple, or persimmon. Some fifes are entirely made of metal or plastic.

  • Le fifre est un petite flûte traversière, proche du piccolo mais dépourvue de clé, largement utilisé dans la musique traditionnelle européenne, dans la musique folklorique ainsi que dans certains ensembles militaires occidentaux. Il s'agit d'un instrument à la sonorité aiguë et habituellement joué de manière rapide et rythmée. Le fifre reste de ce fait rattaché à la musique de rue et aux traditions festives populaires de nombreuses régions de France, d'Allemagne, de Suisse et de Belgique, notamment aux aubades, aux défilés de fifres et tambours et à certains carnavals.

  • Pífaro, pífano, pife, pifre ou gaiteiro é uma pequena flauta transversal, aguda, similar a um flautim, mas com um timbre mais intenso e estridente, devido ao seu diâmetro menor. Os pífanos são originários da Europa medieval e são frequentemente utilizados em bandas militares. (pt)
  • El pifre, o pífol a Mallorca i Menorca, (de l'alemany pfeiffen, flauta) és un instrument musical de vent fusta. Es tracta d'una petita flauta travessera que toca en registres molt aguts. Durant el Renaixement comencen a desenvolupar-se, a Alemanya i Suïssa, les flautes travesseres. Se'n fan de diverses mides per a obtenir diversos registres. Les flautes de mides més grans van ser ben acollides en l'àmbit de la música culta de manera que van evolucionar cap a l'actual flauta travessera. Per la seva banda, les més petites van tenir molt èxit, pel seu registre agut i estrident, en l'àmbit de la música militar. (ca)
  • Die (auch „der“) Schwegel (von althochdeutsch suegala, „Schienbeinknochen“) ist seit dem Mittelalter eine einfache Form einer Längsflöte oder Querflöte. Ursprünglich wurden mit Schwegel verschiedene Arten von Einhandflöten (französisch galoubet) bezeichnet, die einhändig zugleich mit einer Trommel (Tabor) gespielt wurden. Heute ist der Name von diesen zylindrischen Kernspaltflöten auf eine einfache hölzerne Querflöte mit sechs Grifflöchern übergegangen. Sie wird in der Volksmusik verwendet. (de)

  • El pífano es un instrumento musical de viento consistente en una pequeña flauta muy aguda que se toca atravesada. Se cree que fueron los suizos quienes introdujeron el pífano en sus regimientos después de la batalla de Marignano (1515). Lo adoptaron posteriormente los franceses y se extendió luego por otras naciones.​ (es)
  • Il fiffaro (talvolta anche "piffero", dal tedesco pfeife) è genericamente un flauto traverso, e in particolare un ottavino privo di tasti, dal suono molto acuto e penetrante, usato prevalentemente dalle bande militari accompagnato da tamburi. Era lo strumento principale di tutte le armate del XVIII e XIX secolo, specialmente delle Giubbe Rosse britanniche. Insieme al tamburo, serviva ad alzare il morale dei soldati e a tenere ordine nella formazione. Nei giorni d'oggi, è usato soltanto nelle parate, tra cui la più famosa, Trooping the Colour. (it)
