One Handed Flute and Drum The pipe and tabor are a one-handed flute and shallow drum played at the same time. It first appeared in S. France and N. Spain in the 12th C. and is still played there today. During the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance it was known in most of Western Europe. It is used mainly to accompany dances. In England it was called the "whittle and dub" and is still used to accompany Morris dances. In France the tabor is now usually replaced by a tambourin ö cordes (string drum), while the Basque people still use a snare drum. You can play a full scale of an octave or more using just the 3 holes of this flageolette while playing an accompaniment on the tabor drum. Fine tabor pipes by Ralph Sweet.
