tuttliflutti - congratulations to your acquisition; I always considered it a fine instrument, although its range is more limited than that of a recorder. I played it, alternating with cornamuse and zink (the citizen's surrogate for the trumpet which was reserved for the noblemen), and I had a lot of fun with my friends in band of historical music. It sounds best with a set of contemporary instruments like the ones I mentioned above and a set of recorders. A lot of renaissance songs were the hits of the day and are now still preserved as folksongs (naturally changed a bit alll over the centuries).

Blow and enjoy
Wilfried
