The instrument was recorded in the relatively dry and controlled environment of our second studio, the Silent Stage, and offers all typical articulations.

Studio Crumhorns
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.
