A pipe is a tubular wind instrument in general, or various specific wind instruments.[1] The word is an onomatopoeia, and comes from the tone which can resemble that of a bird chirping [citation needed].
With just three holes, a pipe's range is obtained by overblowing to sound at least the second or the third harmonic partials.
