Thethree-hole pipe,also commonly known astabor pipeorgaloubet,is awind instrumentdesigned to be played by one hand, leaving the other hand free to play atabor drum,bell,psalteriumortambourin à cordes,bones,triangleor other percussive instrument.
The three-hole pipe's origins are not known, but it dates back at least to the 12th century.[1]
It was popular from an early date inFrance,theIberian PeninsulaandGreat Britainand remains in use there today.[2]In theBasque Countryit has increasingly gained momentum and prestige during the last century, especially during the last years of theFrancoist State,following that it turned into a hallmark of Basque identity and folk culture. New pipe and tabor schools have cropped up since throughout the country, providing along with tabor the musical background for traditional Basque dance ensembles (seetxistu). InAndalusiathese pipes (flautaorgaitaand thetamborortamboril) are played in celebrations,Cruces de Mayo,sword dances[3]andromerías;in the music used aroundRomeríaofEl Rocío(Huelva, Andalucía) this same pipe is denominatedflauta rociera,gaita rocieraor sometimespito rociero(a higher pitched whistle).
The most common form of tabor pipe in the Basque region is tuned "tone, semitone, tone", as in the pipe of Andalusia.[4]The most common form in Provence is tuned "tone, tone, tone". The English tabor pipe is commonly tuned "tone, tone, semitone", and corresponds to the three lowest holes of atin whistle.[1]
