Shawms
With their wide bore and the pronounced bell, these shawms correspond to 16th-century patterns.
Their open, bright and big tone is very suitable for outdoor music, and match at is best with other loud instruments as cornetts and trombones.
All shawms are made from stained and varnished maple. Additional reeds are available for each size.

Bass shawm
With a standing height of about 6 feet, the bass shawm is an imposing piece and the „king“ of every renaissance-consort. Its sound is considerably stronger and fuller than a curtals, and make a solid base for big and loud ensembles.
