Perhaps a bit early to be called bassoon, and looks more to me like a shalm; extended tenor or bass to judge from the crook. Wonder what the shalm was braced with (I use x-legged dowels). Its clues like this that make possible replicas of the furniture in everyday use which is only preserved iconographically :-) -- Dana Emery To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
