dear Dom, as you can read at the beginning of the video the instruments used are a couple of double reed renaissance woodwind ssntruments such as: ranckett (left) and a bass dulcian. Thanks
the rankett is a baroque instrument and although rankett and dulciane will have co existed in the baroque era, (because in the early baroque the dulciane was all but obsolete and not necessarily replaced by the bassoon) I doubt if the rankett was used for polyphonic music, I think it was more likely to be used for modern baroque music. So a baroque duet with rankett and dulciane seems more likely/authentic to me.
+Baobab Bonsai | The rankett was originally a Renaissance instrument. (See Praetorius' "Syntagma Musicum.") The Baroque rankett that Mr. Sartorato plays so beautifully was developed by J. C. Denner (1655-1707). It sounds wonderful with a dulcian, as it does in other recordings by DULCIAN RANKETT with Baroque bassoon.
+The Wessex Consort yes the rackett on this recording is from the baroque era, I meant to say that it is more likely that the dulciane was used for baroque music than that the baroque rackett was used for renaissance music
This piece shows the beautiful, dulcet and sonorous tones of the rankett. Thanks so much!
that rankett makes quite a racket
Rackett or rankett?
Rackett, bye!
How is that called that bong he is playing?

Many thanks for the clarification.
+The Wessex Consort it sounds very nice though :)
Yes, indeed it does!
