Galoubet in D
Duct flute made of single piece of rosewood(?) with two fingerholes at the distal end, and one thumbhole in the back. It has a lighter wood block. The galoubet is of Provençal origin, and the name probably derives from an Old Provençal verb, "galaubar," meaning "to play magnificently." It was played along with a small drum (tambourin), just like the tabor and pipe, and used to accompany dancing throughout the Middle Ages.
