筚篥，也写做“觱篥”，名称可能是由突厥语或匈奴语直接音译过来。以竹或木做管，顶端有用芦苇或麦秸做的簧片，管身开洞，竖吹。声音高亢凄厉。

古代中国北方游牧民族经常使用的一种乐器，传入中国后，经过改造，而管和唢呐可能都是筚篥改造的产物。

筚篥是日本雅乐的传统乐器。

The hichiriki(篳篥) is a double reed Japanese fue (flute) used as one of two main melodic instruments in Japanese gagaku music, the other being the ryūteki. The hichiriki is difficult to play, due in part to its double reed configuration. Although a double reed instrument like the oboe, the hichiriki has a cylindrical bore and thus its sound is similar to that of a clarinet. Pitch and ornamentation (most notably bending tones) are controlled largely with the embouchure. The hichiriki is one of the "sacred" instruments and is often heard being played at Shinto weddings in Japan. Its sound is often described as haunting.
