Salterello for Solo Crumhorn

Beginning with the fifteenth century a new type of double reed instrument was developed. The player's lips did not touch the reed because the reed was enclosed inside a protective cap with a slot at one end. Strongly blowing through this slot causes the reed to vibrate as it does in the bagpipe chanter. The name of the Crumhorn comes from the German krumhorn (also krummhorn, krumphorn), meaning curved horn (or the older English crump, meaning curve, surviving in modern English in crumpled and crumpet, a curved cake).

Where did you get the music for this? I just got my hands on an extended bass crumhorn and was looking for fun things to play.

Hi

I copied by ear David Munrow playing the tune on an old recording from the 80's

"The Medieval Sound"

Cool- is the fingering anything like any modern instruments?

[speardock]

It is similer to a modern day recorder

Sounds like the lowest register of the clarinet.

Lack of even harmonics. Maybe because of the shape..

Regarding The Medieval Sound by David Munrow, I bought my copy in 1972. To say it changed my musical tastes is an under-statement. I have now been an early music freak for 38 years - and I still miss David Munrow's impassioned playing!

I have a crumhorn (Moeck) I cannot play it at all, I would sell it to best offer (from uk) :)
