Crumhorn

The crumhorn is a cylindrical shaped pipe with seven finger holes on the front and one on the back. This pack contains recordings of five different crumhorns. The instrument was recorded in the relatively dry and controlled environment of our second studio, the Silent Stage, and offers all typical articulations.

Black and white image showing three bagpipe chanters laid horizontally. The top chanter is dark and appears to be made of ebony. The middle chanter is lighter, made of wood, and has a ribbed section. The bottom chanter is also wooden, curved at one end, and features several holes along its length. All chanters have visible metal bands and keys.

The crumhorn’s name is derived from the German “Krummhorn”, which means “bent horn”. The lower part of the instrument is bent upwards in a curve like the letter “J”. The crumhorn has a double-reed mouthpiece like the bassoon, which produces the typically bright and “nasal” timbre that music of the Renaissance period is often associated with. Crumhorns are available in various sizes, as the instrument’s range covers just one octave.
