With this we step back into the past and revive some classic instruments of our history. Barry Carson, one of the leading experts on early renaissance instruments and the sampling of them, has produced some unique sounds of the rebec, krumhorns, viols, lute, and others. Many of the others were done by Michel Riesse, of Decor Sonore, a famous electro-acoustic sound firm in France. Included are several different variations and sometimes a complimentery sequence on each disk, plus a manual that gives a background history on eachinstrument. In this 10 disk set we have the best of early instruments. One feature is the abundance of small pipe organs. No more samples of full-out organs! Here are some samples that show the delicacy of the early pipe organ.
