Talk:Rauschpfeife
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] why its name?
Rauschen seems to mean "hiss" or "rustle" in German, yet this instrument is said to be louder than a crumhorn. I'm trying to figure out why it has its name, or what's the best translation of "rauschen" to describe this instrument. Apparently the sound in the overblowing range is very unique, which may be where the "rausch" comes in. Maybe the best translation is "noise pipe"?
