Maybe I've just missed the obvious, but I cannot recall ever having seen a photograph of a genuine pre-18th-century Chalumeau. Line drawings, yes. Pictures of "reproduction" instruments, yes. But not a "real" one. Does anyone know where one of those elusive little things might be located?
Thanks and regards,
John

There is a French website - for the life of me I can't remember the URL - but it has pictures of clarinets from time imemorial (sp?). I think GBK pointed this one out to me ...

Oh - sorry John, was for "faux" ancient or "genuine" ancient like you?

I understood from reading Brymer's book that no-one in modern times has ever seen a real ancient Chalumeau. I don't think any of them survived, if they ever existed.

Interesting ? John, Out of an abundance of curiousity, I looked in my "2500 [old] Historical Woodwind Insts" under Denner [other suggestions, please] which listed 4 2-brass-keyed Chalumeaux [Munich and Nurnberg {3}] with a footnote saying the 3 were "true clarinets" because of "flared bell". If I can find [and study] the pics [of display cases at a distance!] I took in Munich and look in the Deut. Museum Katalog [with my non-fluent German] maybe I can find something. A quick look shows one Sopran-Chalumeau [in C?]{Um 1700 etc] by Moeck # 79288, if you wish to pursue it!!!! If Al Rice doesn't respond to our ?'s, I suggest you ask for his expert help. Don
