You can hear my rauschpfeife at any performance by the PowderKegs Border Morris (unless I'm not there that particular day of course).

There's a clip on YouTube of Powderkegs dancing Upton Stick in Kettlewell in September 2007, with me (out of shot, but [understandably] fairly prominent on the soundtrack) on the rauschpfeife:

This is an excerpt of the dance Three Jolly Sheepskins, filmed in Cambridge in May 2008:

In July 2008 the Powderkegs went to the Prague Folklore Days festival: this compilation video by a member of Whitethorn Morris captures some of the festival's atmosphere, along with the sound of my rauschpfeife (and some great Catalan shawms as well) in action at the Saturday night party:

Rauschpfeifes can also be heard in the live or recorded works of many early music, folk, and rock bands, including:
