The
recorders, krumhorn & natural ropes drums are based on Renaissance
instruments. Although the violin & viola are modern, they are played using a
"floating bow" technique that gives an old viol sound.
Our group has
been playing for public events & schools since Fall, 2000. We do not charge
for non-profit groups or vendors sponsoring a non-profit event. Otherwise, our
charge is $25 per person per hour payable in cash or gift
certificates.
