Hi... I'm doing a paper for my Medieval + Renaissance Lit class (yes, I'm
still in high school - we just have cool classes!) on the development of
medieval and renaissance music. I have a few books, but their focus is
on the development of music as part of the church service, into
entertainment etc. There is a good deal of information on differnt
styles of music and how theory changed, but I'm more interested in
construction and use of woodwinds, especially the clarinet family. I
know the modern clarinet wasn't invented till about 1700, which is after
my time period, but I was wondering if anyone had any information about
early reed and/or flute type instruments, from about 1000 - 1600, or even
a bit later.

Thanks in advance,
Scott
