Today's marginal musicians come from an English source, the "Tudor Pattern Book", c1520-1530 (Ashmole 1504). A bagpipe-playing fox and a monkey playing pipe and tabor. #earlymusic #tudor #tudors #iconography #bagpipes #monkey #fox #earlymodern #patternbook

At Kentwell we don’t just play #earlymusic, sometimes we make the #instruments too. Last year during our #re-creation a small group of our #Tudors made a #trumpet. In the woods. Using #earlymodern style materials, tools and techniques as far as possible. And it sounded great! #musicalMonday

A woman in Tudor dress stands in front of a workbench on which a small anvil rests. She holds the bell of a trumpet on a steel mould.

The woman is now heating the trumpet bell in a flame.

So thrilled! I’ve been given the Janet Arnold Award by the Society of Antiquaries to recreate clothing described in the #16thC #song #Greensleeves. Excited to be working on this project with a team of superb costume historians. #earlymusic #earlymodern #tudor #tudors #Elizabethan
