    within the pipe. Holes along the pipe allow the player to
    control the length of the column of air, and hence the
    pitch.

    A player may blow across a mouth hole, as in a flute; into a


    mouthpiece with a single reed, as in a modern-day
    clarinet or saxophone; or a double reed, as in an oboe or
    bassoon. All three of these methods of tone production
    can be found in Renaissance instruments.

    SHAWM
    A typical oriental shawm is keyless and is about a foot
    long with seven finger holes and a thumb hole. To play
    the shawm a person puts the entire reed in their mouth,
    puffs out their cheeks, and blows into the pipe whilst
    breathing through their nose.

    It was the most popular double reed instrument of the


    renaissance period; it was commonly used in the streets
    with drums and trumpets because of its brilliant,
    piercing, and often deafening sound.

    KRUMMHORN

    It consists of a small boxwood  pipe  of cylindrical bore,


    curved upward at the lower end and pierced with finger
    holes like those of a recorder. Its reed is enclosed in a
    wooden cap with a blowing orifice in the top.

    The tone is reedy and nasal.

    Crumhorns were built in families, from great bass to


    sopranino, each instrument having a compass of a
    ninth.
