Flageolet is a small, high-pitched woodwind instrument, typically a whistle-like or recorder-like pipe, historically used in folk and military bands. In modern usage, it can refer to a wind instrument or, in slang, a small flute-like device. The term also appears in cooking as a short form for certain small dried beans. In all senses, it denotes a delicate, piercing sound produced by a slender bore and gentle airflow.
