- In this video, learn all about the cornetto-an early wind instrument that dates from the medieval, renaissance, and baroque music periods-from musician Doron Sherwin.
What is the cornetto? A hybrid instrument that has no modern equivalent, the cornetto is similar to the saxophone, in that it combines two very different instruments into one. Also sometimes referred to as the cornett or zink, it was popular from 1500 to 1650, and was used in what are now called wind ensembles. Prized for its purity of tone, the cornetto was long regarded as the instrument that most closely resembled the sound of the human voice. The 17th-century French writer Marin Mersenne compared its sound to “the brilliance of a shaft of sunlight appearing in the shadow or in darkness, when one hears it among the voices in cathedrals or in chapels."
Thanks to renewed interest in historically informed performance and early music, the cornetto has been rediscovered by musicians like Doron Sherwin, one of the world's preeminent cornetto specialists. In this conversation, which also features our Music Director Elisa Citterio, learn more about this incredible instrument.

Hey, Doron! Whatever happened to that Peter Carvallo special you started with? You went from recorder, to shawm, to cornetto in less than two years, and as I recall, Peter was making mold-injected plastic cornettos as a lark, explaining that he made them without a curve and put the curve into them by bending them with his hands when they were still hot, and you picked one up, more or less as a lark also -- and fell in love with it, as I recall.
Was that your first cornetto? I can't remember -- it was so long ago. (I was the drummer in Carvallo's band at the time, if you're wondering how I know this stuff.) Good to see you're still out there, still playing. Salutations from northern California, and well wishes for your continued good health and success. :)
interesting. I have only rarely seen one . and couldnt makel sense of it . thankyou
Yep, I've seen one played by this guy with the ensemble L'Arpeggiata, I think
@@MrFeynmanDiagram Yep. He's one of the four or five greatest cornettisti in the world, along with the likes of Jeremy West, Bruce Dickey and Jean-Paul Tubéry.
Is it difficult to play this instrument?
Doron Sherwin
Oboe can sound like the cornetto.
