Serpent

The serpent (latin: serpens “snake”) is easily recognized by its exceptional visual appearance. The instrument was developed in France in the 16th century, covering the bass register of the zink (cornett/cornetto) family of instruments. The instruments were recorded in the relatively dry and controlled environment of our second studio, the Silent Stage, and offer all typical articulations.

Serpents are usually made out of wood covered by leather. In the middle of the 18th century the serpent began to appear in military bands and orchestras, where, being the only wind instrument that could perform at louder volumes in larger ensembles and venues, it stayed until the middle of the 19th century although it is extremely hard to play.
