Zuffolo (also chiufolo, ciufolo) is an Italian fipple flute. First described in the 14th century, it has a rear thumb-hole, two front finger-holes, and a conical bore. It is approximately 8 cm in length and has a range of over two octaves, from B3 to C6 . A larger instrument of the same name, with a lowest note of C5 appeared in the early 17th century . In Sicily, ''zuffolo'' refers to a longer beak flute of about 29 cm, with a wide bore and six equally spaced finger-holes . In the late 17th and early 18th centuries, it was also called the "flautino" , ''flauto piccolo'', and ''flautino piccolo'', and is sometimes spelled ''zufolo''. In London from 1856, a blind Italian musician named Picco popularized the instrument, which was made as a toy under the name Picco pipe until early in the 20th century . ==Relatives== In northern Europe a very similar instrument is known by various names from the 14th until at least the 17th century. The earliest source is a 14th-century Flemish manuscript copy of ''De planctu naturae'' by Alain de Lille, which includes drawings of eleven different types of instruments, including two of duct flutes. One of these is a one-handed flute with three front finger-holes and one thumb-hole. It is labeled, together with another instrument, with the generic Latin term "fistuli" and with the Middle Dutch word "floyt" . In the early 16th century, a woodcut showing this same type of instrument is labeled "Russpfeiff" (from MHGer ''Rusch'', "rush") in . This name is spelled "Rüspfeiff" in , where the same instrument is also referred to as a "klein Flötlein mit 4 löchern" (small little flute with four holes) (; ). At the beginning of the next century, Michael Praetorius depicted this instrument once again in the supplement (''Theatrum Instrumentorum'') to the second volume of his ''Syntagma Musicum'', where he uses the expressions "gar kleine Plockflötlein" (very small little recorder), "garklein Flötlein" (very small little flute), and "klein Flötlein" (small little flute). He gives the size of this instrument as about three or four Brunswick inches, its range as nearly two octaves, and its playing technique as involving "unten zum Ausgang darneben mit eim Finger regiret werden" (regulated by means of a finger under the outlet). The lowest open tone is shown in the woodcut as C6, but Praetorius does not say how much lower the instrument can be made to speak by using the finger to shade the bell opening . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「zuffolo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
