From time to time we get hautboys aka baroque oboes, traversos aka one-keyed wooden flutes, early clarinets, shawms, cornemuses, and krumhorns on consignment. Like our recorders, they are sold with a 7-day trial-period return policy. You only keep the instruments you like! If you'd like more information on the instruments and makers and other musical matters, here are some links to the relevant Yahoo users groups: HautboyResearch v EarlyClarinet v EarlyFlute and another excellent website for double reeds: Robert Cronin Shawms, Large Oboes and Bassoons
Comments: 1) Original classical/early romantic clarinet. Now plays as "A" clarinet because only the "A" corps de rechange is present. Other joints marked "B" indicating a Bb model. The barrel is marked "London Key" and is contemporary but not original, as is the ebony mouthpiece. Currently a few keys need to be re-sprung, but otherwise in excellent shape. Boxwood is remarkably straight for an instrument this old! 2) Used Cornamuse Set - These instruments are similar to krumhorns, but are quieter, enabling them to play with recorders. The soprano cornamuse is the same pitch as the tenor recorder, the alto the same as the bass recorder, and the tenor the same as the great bass. These cornemuses do not have keys, therefore they are limited to a range of a ninth. They can play most of the parts in renaissance krumhorn compilations and medieval duets. 3) Used baroque oboe formerly played by professional baroque oboist Stephen Hammer. Two new reeds from Stephen Hammer, two new reeds from Sand Dalton and four staples by Sand Dalton. Slight crack in upper joint repaired and small chip on bell ring. Keys work perfectly. Professional quality at a moderate price! 4) Used - All original pieces except for mouthpiece. Fitted with Van Doren B40 mouthpiece and soft ligature. All keys repadded and resprung. Perfect for traditional jazz, Klezmer or other ethnic. 5) Original traverso bought from an antiques dealer and restored by Herb Myers. New artificial ivory end cap and ring mountings, cleaned, oiled, re-wrapped. New spring and leather pad for original brass key. |
