Crumhorn

The crumhorn is a double reed instrument belonging to the woodwind family, mostly used during the Renaissance period but brought back to popular culture during the 60s thanks to a revival of interest in early music.

Its construction is similar to that of the chanter of a bagpipe, which gives the crumhorn its strong buzzing, bagpipe-like sound, while allowing lots of possible different timbres and colors at the same time.

Have Audio sampled a beautiful tenor crumhorn exploring all of its sound possibilities: with both open and closed bell and with the “onion” bell mouth (Cromorno d’Amore) that delivers a stunning, muted vox humana-type sound.
