Svirel (Russian: свирель) is a Slavic woodwind instrument of the end-blown flute type traditionally used in Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine.[1][2] It is a parallel-bore flute. The six-hole versions are similar to the tin whistle; the ten-hole versions are fully chromatic.[3]

The traditional Russian svirel has not been extensively studied. Specialists have long tried to relate the present day's pipe instruments to their Old Russian names. Most often the chroniclers used three names for this type of instrument: svirel, sopel (sopilka) and tsevnitsa.[citation needed] The Ukrainian term for the instrument is sopilka; in Belarusian the term is dudka.[3]
