Praetorius gives us the clearest description we have of the Cornamuse, no cornamusen having survived to the present day. A windcap instrument, similar to the better known crumhorn, they have a straight centre section ending in a small resonating chamber. Cornamusen also have the same musical compass as the crumhorn family, the sound however is quieter and less strident allowing them to blend well with recorders and other instruments.

Our alto cornamuse has two upward extension keys fitted as standard, giving it a range of f - b'(c'). The RWC tenor cornamuse has two upward extension keys fitted as standard, giving it a range of c - f'(g'). Our finished bass cornamuse has two upward extension keys fitted as standard, giving it a range of F - b(c). It also has lower key for the bottom note which can be operated by the little finger of either hand depending on whether you are left or right handed. These instruments above are presented with a plastic reed, a reed care and maintenance leaflet and fingering chart in a padded sleeve.
