Cornamusen

Post by mattolwell »

Hi All,

I am looking to buy an alto cornamuse. I am new to the instrument and looking for recommendations for high quality maker. I am looking at the following sites:

http://www.dulcians.org/makers.htm#Moulder
http://www.histnastroje.gajdy.cz/en/platkove.php
http://www.paulbeekhuizen.nl/index.html
http://en.folkfriends.com/Glastonburypi ... namuse.htm

Any firsthand recommendations appreciated.

Thanks!

That last option of yours, the "Glastonbury Pipe", looks VERY similar to an instrument I bought, new, for about half the price, from eBay seller quality1trader. They don't seem to have any stock at the moment.

Works ... "does what it says on the box" ... unnecessarily long and heavy, in my opinion, but probably good value for money in today's market.

Also for your consideration, but without any comment or recommendation, http://www.earlymusicshop.com/product.a ... e-in-f-kit
