Thread Name: Crumhorns and early instruments
Subject: RE: Crumhorns and early instruments
Interesting to see crumhorn players from the manchester area on here - I used to run an early music group back in the 70's. I still have my instruments stashed away in a box somewhere.

They come out from time to time, but I can't play them like I used to - for a while my head would still do the divisions but my fingers wouldn't; now the head has trouble doing them too.

I can still knock a tune out of my my crumhorns, cornemuse, cornett, sackbutt and the usual pack of recorders, but both my viol and harp are in a sorry state.
