  • 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. Known as the Picco pipe and marketed as a toy until early in the 20th century, the instrument was popularized in London in 1856, either as a toy by a blind Italian musician named Picco, or by a blind Sardinian player at Covent Garden. The zuffolo is the smallest form of ducted-flue tabor pipe or flute-a-bec, at 3½" long, with the windway taking up 1½". It has only three holes: two in front and a dorsal thumb hole. It has the same mouthpiece as a recorder. The bore end hole of the picco pipe has a small flare, and the lowest notes were played with a finger blocking this end. The range is from b to c3, using the slight frequency shift between registers to sound a full chromatic scale, like the tabor pipe. (en)
  • Lo zufolo (in siciliano friscalettu, in sardo Pipiolu o solittu) è uno strumento musicale a fiato tradizionale. Simile a un flauto, è generalmente realizzato artigianalmente in legno. È formato da una canna corta o da un piccolo cilindro incavato, quasi sempre di legno di bosso ed ha un taglio traverso per l'imboccatura e alcuni fori laterali. Questo strumento si può paragonare a un fischietto per il modo in cui viene suonato ed anche per il suono che emette. (it)
