Subject: RE: Crumhorns and early instruments
Hi John

Shame we never met up properly. Bob and Ann played together as the Cheshire Waits (not Chester) and made a nice sound. Rebec did in fact reform a few years ago but never got off the ground as Bob moved on again, this time to New Zealand. Interesting you mention the Indian harmonium as Bill, the percussionist with Madcap, and I play in a duo and we use the harmonium to great effect. We are called Daphne and we use guitars, recorders, Bulgarian and Spanish bagpipes, crumhorns, dumbek and many more exotic instruments. There's a wealth of sounds out there to be explored.
