Musica Antiqua, a group of musicians based at Iowa State University who
recreate the music of the Renaissance and Middle Ages, have created a web
page that showcases their large collection of 12th to 17th century replica
instruments. At this site, users can view pictures and descriptions of the
Hurdy-Gurdy, Dulcian, Rebec, Recorder, Crumhorn, and many other lesser and
better known old instruments. Descriptions of each instrument include a
history, construction, and how they are played. In addition, most include a
short bibliography and a recorded sample in .wav format. [MD]
