Sorry, Burton, your link only brought up a blank screen that claimed to be 'Done.' Is it an analysis of the painting (or is it a fresco) by Fra Angelico?

As for what kind of drums there are, I have looked up names such as tabor and tambour in reference books and have found them to be very loose terms.

It seems to me that something is off kilter when there are 7 trumpets, 5 shawms and only 3 lutes. I think one trumpet and one shawm would suffice, and they should be on the next cloud over.

One thing's for sure - Fra Angelico has access to a lot of yellow paint. Nowadays he would be judged politically incorrect for having only blondes among the angels.

Somebody tell Spaw that some drama queen is putting fake posts on the Mudcat and putting his name on them.
