Post Subject: CornettoPosted by steverino on: 7/19/2026
Rowuk,
Thanks for mentioning the cornetto. Actually it's a rather odd "brass" instrument since the body was made out of wood. There is a fine YT performance of 2 of Ludwig Senfl's songs performed by I Fideli Consort with the high part played on the cornetto. This is one instrument that I would love to see come back to life as the harpsichord did. I understand though that it is a very difficult instrument to play well since it lacks keys and chromatic notes require cross fingerings. But well played it has a lovely unique sound.
