Banchetto Musicale

More Early patches for Your listening pleasure

Besides the instrumentes of courtly and civic music culture like Shawm, Krumhorn, Recorder, Bass Fanfare and Rauschpfeife You will also find a number of peasants- and jugglers instruments that were in use in those days. Different Hurdy Gurdies, Bagpipes, Signal Horn, Shepards Trumpet,One Hand Flute and String Tamburin.
