Revolutionary era pipe (4)

I believe the answer is:

fife

(Other definitions for fife that I've seen before include "Historical Scottish county - wind instrument" , "High-pitched flute - Scottish area" , "Historic Scottish county (and kingdom)" , "Shrill flute; Scots region" , "Small shrill flute" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
