THE MEDIEVAL RECORDER
|
This detail from a
15th century painting ( the Coronation of the Virgin of Cologne) gives
us an idea of what the recorder was like at the end of the Middle Ages. The range of the
instrument was probably an octave and one sixth, possibly a little
more, with somewhat different fingerings from those of modern
recorders. Its bore was probably cylindrical. |
