Shawm

[agormanvideos]

Besides, when you close your eyes, it transports you instantaneously to the Middle Ages!

[agormanvideos]

It sounds pretty similar to the oboe and the English horn.

HI!!!!! one the recomended links that poped up after your vid was artie shaw's 'nightmare'

have you guys ever tried doing any swing/jazz music with those early instruments? I think it might sound interesting!

[whatthemeh]

This just sounds so beautiful to me! People have misunderstood the quality of harsh sounding intrument in favour for something that sounds 'pure'

[rubberclown]

I wanna learn this simply because my name is Shawn!

[kroxdastarzxx]

that is a real shawm

[raonipaes]

An iberian pre-bagpipe era instrument?

Connect it into a goretex bag and fit in a drone two octaves higher and you'll have some nice old bagpipe...hehe

Amazing! greetings from southern Brazil

looks a lot like a zurna!

[blackstonewielder19]

@Sercan1995 thats what it evolved from

[G33KN3rd]

@Sercan1995 the shawm originated from the zurna so zurna is the dad

The shawm for that bombardier is sort of a pain-relieving means.

[Queenmoreta]

is it me or does this shawm sound a bit quieter than others? i have heard some that are much much louder with a more ear piercing sound.

not that this one sounding quieter is a bad thing, it still sounds awesome, just wondered if others thought it sounded quiet too, or if it was just me lol.

@Queenmoreta

I'd say he's playing it quietly because he's indoors. Shawms were designed for outdoor use; because double reeds were not very technologically advanced in those days they were basically impossible to play quietly.

[Queenmoreta]

i agree with RulerofRock666, i wonder what make it is and key it is played in, its such an awesome instrument.

[alixinthemiddle]

it sounds like... a weird combination between trumpet... and flute... o.o

DO WANT!!!!

[biancademonet]

@alixinthemiddle actually it is the ancestor of the modern oboe, just as dulcians were the ancestor of the basoons. Shawms were often paired with sackbuts and cornetts

[EbenRecords]

Wonderful sound. Who is the maker of the shawm? Is it a D=460 instrument?

[RulerOfRock666]

What kind and what key?

[fsubear]

nice... check out "Ciaramella shawm" .... you'll like it

:-)

[dbadagna]

Very nice performance! What piece, exactly, were you playing?
