“Pastime with Good Company”. A tune attributed to Henry the VIII (Uncle to James the V of Scotland).
A Crumhorn is a curved (Crum is old German for curved as in “Cow with the Crum-pled horn”) capped reed instrument, using a double reed inside a cap to protect it. As you can hear it has quite a nasally sound. #HHA2017
