Pitch (music)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A pitch pipe is a small device used to provide a pitch reference for musicians without absolute pitch. Although it may be described as a musical instrument, it is not typically used to play music as such. The earliest pitch pipes were instruments rather like a recorder, but rather than finger holes, they had a plunger like a slide whistle''s (also known as a swanee whistle). The pipe was generally made of wood with a square bore, and the plunger was leather-coated. On this plunger are marked the notes of either the chromatic scale or the diatonic scale, and by setting it to the correct position, the indicated note will be produced when the instrument is blown.
