PIPE, n. Eng. fife.

1. A wind instrument of music, consisting of a long tube of wood or metal as a rural pipe. The word, I believe, is not now the proper technical name of any particular instrument, but is applicable to any tubular wind instrument, and it occurs in bagpipe.
2. A long tube or hollow body applied to the veins and arteries of the body, and to many hollow bodies, particularly such as are used for conductors of water or other fluids.
3. A tube of clay with a bowl at one end used in smoking tobacco.
4. The organs of voice and respiration as in windpipe.
5. The key or sound of the voice.
6. In England, a roll in the exchequer, or the exchequer itself. Hence, pipe-office is an office in which the clerk of the pipe makes out leases of crown lands, accounts of sheriffs, &c.
7. A cask containing two hogsheads or 120 gallons, used for wine or the quantity which it contains.
8. In mining, a pipe is where the ore runs forward endwise in a hole, and does not sink downwards or in a vein.
