Something that makes Minstrels Gallery unique is the number of instruments we play, at the last count it was around forty but we are always adding to our collection. Even if you book Minstrels Gallery as a duo we still come with the full compliment of instruments. The picture here shows some of the main ones.

The renaissance flute, like most wind instruments from the period has no keys. It is a soft sounding instrument and requires quite a lot of work to keep certain notes in tune. At the time the recorder would have been a much more versatile instrument though history was later to leave it behind in favour of the flute.
