They are blown and fingered like a recorder, but involve much more pressure (to vibrate the internal reed). Their strong sound would have been ideal for fanfares and outdoor music-making. Crumhorns have a distinctive curved end, while the Renaissance cornemuse has a mellower tone. Lyrebyrd performs here on 3 sizes of cornemuse (SAT).
