Popular in Germany and the Netherlands from the 1550s, the eccentric J-shaped crumhorn (and related cornamuse) are renaissance double-reed, windcap instruments. Their distinctive sonorous buzz works best in a consort of 4-8 players. Rhythmic dance music and vocal pieces form the main repertoire. CrumScrum demonstrate the history, personality and challenge of the crumhorn with vigour, whilst stretching the musical possibilities of these ancient instruments through new commissions.
