Greetings, Dulcian-List. I have a Martin Praetorius bass dulcian at A = 440, in nearly new condition, that I seldom use and would like to sell. It's a very...
Dear fellow listers, I though that you might like to know about the following CD: Claudio Merulo: O Virgo Justa. It is on the Tactus label and consists of...
Thanks for the tip-off. I've just ordered the CD on Amazon. Looking forward to hearing it. It's not often that you get to hear a consort of dulcians. John. ...
Does anyone know of a builder who is producing or has in the past produced copies of the TARTOLDS (dragon shaped ranketts) located in Vienna? I believe Kurt...
Many years ago I have seen (and played) copies of the Tartolds at Keith Loraine. At that time he told me, but I don't remember now, who made these copies. So I...
Hans; I actually asked John to place the question for me (Tom Axworthy). Keith Loraine is an old friend of mine and the first person I asked about Tartolds....
Very, very sad news - Bill Waterhouse passed away this morning. Are there any recordings of his dulcian playing? Possibly made at a meeting or one of his...
Dear All Early Music in Motion, Inc - EMIM. is hosting a workshop in early double reed instruments (shawms and dulcians). The workshop will be on February...
Hi All, I'm new to this group, but I thought I'd let you all know about a concert I am giving with a dulcian player in Saint Paul, Minnesota. If anyone lives...
I just wanted to follow up this message. I attended the workshop in Bloomington (flying from Texas with dulcian in hand, in a rifle bag -- now *that* made for...

Dear All, I have a Leslie Ross bass dulcian at A= 440. It is maple wood, in excellent condition and I would like to sell it. It's a very good instrument, but I...
hello, I am looking into buying a John Hanchett shawm - specifically the alto G. I'm trying to ask the maker some specific questions about his instruments but...
Hi Jocelyn, ... Yes, have one. ... That depends on the reed and the player. But in general I would say you need a soprano shawm with a rather loud setup to...
... The regular run, or the Spanish model? I own the G Spanish; I haven't had experience with the regular Hanchet shawm, so none of this should be construed as...
Thanks for everyone's advice - to answer some of the questions. We play mostly medieval so the third interval isn't really working - which is mostly what you...
Hi, As a member of th Dulcian List, I thought perhaps I should toss a few ideas into the pot. As director of the Southern California early Music Consort, I...
... My understanding is that Randall Cook had taken over the Schermer shop but that now it's Paul Hailperin's. Debra Nagy got a PH D soprano @460 and raves...
Thanks again for everyone's input. I'm so glad I found this list! You have really been a wealth of information. I do know Collier and Cronin - I met them...
Hi, David Hogan Smith (in San Fransicso) does a great job with reeds. You would need to talk to him, of course, before sending him the instruments. Keith...
-Thanks everyone - okay- last question: If I got a Hanchett alto shawm, would it be reasonable to assume that I could send it to one of the reed makers...
Shawms are LOUD! When I need a soft shawm (for recording sessions or to accompany choirs), I use the old model Meock shawms. Hogan Smith, Lorraine and...
A good resource to get is the David Hogan Smith book on reed design. It has a pocket guide to shawm playing. It also highlights that Hanchet shawms are (were?)...

Hi Walter, Book II is published in facsimile by SPES. Fagotto is specified for only two of the sonatas in book II and not at all in book one. The parts are a...
What is a reasonable value for a Graham and Maggie Lyndon Jones Bass Dulcian (from about 1992)? Likewise, what is a good price for a used Baroque Bassoon from...
