Music Tasting 49
Today is International Crumhorn Day.
It is a double reed woodwind instrument which dates back to the 14th century. Some originals have survived from the court of Henry VIII.
The tone of it really feels like medieval England....
With a gittern!
In many references, it's a Renaissance recorder, but the original "krummhorn" was definitely from medieval Germany.
Or there's this guy, who calls it a kazoo.
Something different anyway. :-P
