Dear All:
In my experience the bass recorder is the instrument of the recorder
family that blends best in the English consort.
By the way, why not use the term "English consort?" Isn't there some
historical basis for that?
Cheers,
Jim

I last played the broken consorts a long, long time ago with a recorder
and don't remember any problems with the octave shifts. I do remember
some concern about whether the lute was loud enough.
More recently I have enjoyed the CD by L'Poem Harmoniqe Love Is
Strange, which includes b

if you've anything to add, or correct, on cittern sizes, tunings, pitches etc
for the 'Rroken Consort' I'd be delighted to hear it.

Which tuning is this?

My wife and I just played some renaissance flutes and recorders and
they were close to 440, maybe a bit lower, whatever the keynote was.
The instruments came in many sizes, so what was a D flute or a C
flute or a small bass flute is an interesting question.
All of the instruments sounded differe
e of this repertoire in
2010 and am looking at suitable cittern models. Peter Forrester is the leading
authority on citterns.

Dear Sam,
I'm copying Ian into this because apart from the fact that most of the
pieces we played were from the Holmes MSS, I can't remember the details
of what the flute parts do.
Can you enlighten us, Ian?
Best wishes,
Martin

Hi Martin,
Which pieces did you play? Were they from the Morley publication, the
Holmes manuscripts, or something else? Did you use flute or recorder?
It wasn't quite clear from your Email if the flute/recorder played at

Hi Sam,
These are interesting questions. At the recent Lute Society weekend Ian
Harwood managed to assemble a consort at the high pitch - a minor third
above modern pitch. I played my "A lute" tuned up a semitone, strung all
in gut except for the top string which was nylgut. For a gut string
