Subject: RE: Origins: Does anybody know what a mourqui is?
Hi, Becky - that's correct. I have an old woodcutting in mind (don't know where I saw it). The drum was as small as the one played by Charles Wells on the Pipe and Tabor Page. How many the holes the pipe had I couldn't see, but since you have to hold the pipe with two fingers, there are only three left for fingering the holes.
Thanks for the links, I didn't know that this kind of music is still flourishing. I was astonished at the lot of entries when searching for pipe and tabor with google.
