Thread Name: Crumhorns and early instruments
Subject: RE: Crumhorns and early instruments
My wife - Jan Elliott - plays the occasional crumhorn at our Beggars Description gigs. The band has Hurdy Gurdy, English & Anglo Concertinas, Fiddle, Whistles, "Crumhorn" & Percussion.
We play European dance music mainly, ie. English, Irish, Scots and French, with some from Quebec and USA, mixed with songs and sometimes even a clog dance etc..
She also plays Crumhorn in her Early Music and Renaissance groups. Her main instruments are all the Recorders, Whistle, English Concertina and occasionally Guitar.
