Could you be so kind as to give me the complete name of this piece? Is this a Canzona (one of many) by Frescobaldi? According to other internet sources, the correct spelling is, "La Tromboncina," but I am having trouble locating the score for this piece anywhere. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated - I'd really like to play this piece! :) Thanks.
@cre8ivmind "Only?" played in ensembles for baroque music? Well its still a popular solo instrument in the baroque and early music world, which of course is very much alive and well today. I am a dulcian player and also baroque bassoon, but sometimes I love playing dulcian a lot more - the flexibility, the power (it can be a lot louder than bassoon when needed) and the slightly more "untamed" quality can make it a very expressive instrument. :)
In 'modern' orchestra's it has been replaced by the bassoon. For renaissance music there was no bassoon, so the dulcian was the instrument then! By 1650 it was joined by the bassoon (as a new instrument), and was played next to the bassoon, until disappearing (except in Spain and Latin America) at the end of the 17th century.
@MasterAsra Hi, Now I'm signed into my proper account. I am a dulcianist/baroque bassoonist - please check out my playlist for some fine examples of good dulcian playing and ensemble work. :)

Is the Dulcian played much anymore or has it been replaced by the bassoon mostly?

@MasterAsra I think it's only played in ensembles for baroque music.
