Cylindrique (Perce ~); Zylindrisch (i.e. Zylindrische Bohrung); Cilíndrica (Sección ~).

Bore

Conical; NB: Ammer defines the term as, "the inside of the pipe does not taper"..

Cylindrical pipes have only the odd overtones and thus lack the octave, can’t be overblown, and have a more nasal sound than conical pipes.
