1613 musical instrument inventory
“Most inventories included Damerin- or Tamburin-pfeifen, which would seem to have been tabor-pipes with tabor
( 'I small Drumlin belonging to the Dammerin Pfeifen'). The 1638 Cassel inventory has none
of these, but 4 old
English flöten with 3 holes'.
They were used along with other 'folk' instruments in carnivals and masques.”
