Cette peinture pr\u00e9sente au premier plan des anges musiciens, dont l\u2019un joue du cromorne. Associ\u00e9 au luth et \u00e0 la <a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/2022\/05\/09\/viola-da-braccio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lira da braccio<\/a> dans ce concert ang\u00e9lique, le cromorne n\u2019appara\u00eet pas comme un instrument secondaire mais, au contraire, prend place au sein d\u2019un ensemble choisi pour accompagner une sc\u00e8ne sacr\u00e9e particuli\u00e8rement solennelle. Sa repr\u00e9sentation t\u00e9moigne ainsi de son int\u00e9gration aux pratiques instrumentales du d\u00e9but du XVI<sup>\u00e8me<\/sup> si\u00e8cle, mais aussi de la consid\u00e9ration dont il pouvait faire l\u2019objet. Plac\u00e9 par Carpaccio parmi des instruments associ\u00e9s \u00e0 un univers de cour et \u00e0 une pratique musicale \u00e9labor\u00e9e, il participe ici \u00e0 l\u2019expression raffin\u00e9e du concert c\u00e9leste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cette pr\u00e9sence du cromorne dans le concert ang\u00e9lique n\u2019est pas isol\u00e9e. Trois ans plus tard, dans l\u2019\u00c9pitaphe de Lorenz Tucher r\u00e9alis\u00e9e par Hans S\u00fc\u00df von Kulmbach d\u2019apr\u00e8s un projet d\u2019Albrecht D\u00fcrer, un autre ange musicien joue du <em>Krummhorn<\/em> aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s d\u2019une vi\u00e8le et d\u2019un luth. La proximit\u00e9 de ces deux repr\u00e9sentations, \u00e0 Venise en 1510 et \u00e0 Nuremberg en 1513, t\u00e9moigne de la place de l\u2019instrument dans la culture musicale et visuelle du d\u00e9but du XVI<sup>\u00e8me<\/sup> si\u00e8cle. Leur \u00e9loignement g\u00e9ographique montre surtout que le cromorne appartient alors \u00e0 un vocabulaire instrumental qui d\u00e9passe largement un foyer artistique ou musical particulier. Le rapprochement de ces deux \u0153uvres, r\u00e9alis\u00e9es \u00e0 quelques ann\u00e9es d\u2019intervalle dans des contextes artistiques aussi diff\u00e9rents que Venise et Nuremberg, t\u00e9moigne de la diffusion du cromorne au d\u00e9but du XVI<sup>\u00e8me<\/sup> si\u00e8cle. Le cromorne n\u2019appara\u00eet donc pas ici comme un instrument rustique, mais trouve sa place dans le concert ang\u00e9lique. Sans lui attribuer une symbolique religieuse sp\u00e9cifique, cette r\u00e9currence sugg\u00e8re donc \u00e0 la fois le succ\u00e8s du cromorne et la consid\u00e9ration dont il jouissait dans la culture musicale de son temps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" id=\"_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> David Munrow, Instruments de musique du Moyen \u00c2ge et de la Renaissance, Paris, Hier &amp; Demain, 1979, pp. 47-49<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"#_ftnref2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a> Barra R.

Parmi les connus, le Mus\u00e9e des Instruments de Musique de Bruxelles poss\u00e8de un remarquable ensemble de six cromornes, encore r\u00e9unis dans son \u00e9tui ancien. David Munrow le reproduit dans son ouvrage consacr\u00e9 aux instruments m\u00e9di\u00e9vaux et Renaissance. L&#8217;image est particuli\u00e8rement parlante, car la succession des diff\u00e9rentes tailles montre imm\u00e9diatement le principe du consort<a href=\"#_ftn1\" id=\"_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L\u2019\u00e9tude comparative des instruments conserv\u00e9s permet d\u2019aller plus loin encore. Les travaux de Philippe Allain-Dupr\u00e9 consacr\u00e9s \u00e0 Ieorg Wier, facteur de cromornes actif \u00e0 Memmingen dans la premi\u00e8re moiti\u00e9 du XVI<sup>\u00e8me<\/sup> si\u00e8cle, portent sur un corpus de trente instruments conserv\u00e9s<a href=\"#_ftn2\" id=\"_ftnref2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a>. Leur comparaison r\u00e9v\u00e8le une remarquable coh\u00e9rence de proportions entre les diff\u00e9rentes tailles et permet ainsi de mieux comprendre les principes qui pr\u00e9sidaient \u00e0 la constitution d\u2019une famille de cromornes. Elle montre ainsi que la constitution d\u2019une famille de cromornes ne consistait pas simplement \u00e0 agrandir ou \u00e0 r\u00e9duire empiriquement un m\u00eame mod\u00e8le, mais que leur facture r\u00e9pondait \u00e0 des rapports de proportions et \u00e0 des principes de construction communs. L\u2019\u00e9tude des originaux permet donc de retrouver, au-del\u00e0 de chaque instrument pris isol\u00e9ment, la logique selon laquelle pouvait \u00eatre con\u00e7u un consort entier. Cette approche est essentielle pour comprendre le travail des facteurs contemporains qui, comme Eric Moulder, se sont tourn\u00e9s vers les collections historiques pour reconstruire des familles d\u2019instruments coh\u00e9rentes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" id=\"_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> David Munrow, Instruments de musique du Moyen \u00c2ge et de la Renaissance, Paris, Hier &amp; Demain, 1979, p. 49<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"#_ftnref2\" id=\"_ftn2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a> Philippe Allain-Dupr\u00e9, \u201cThree newly discovered Ieorg Wier crumhorns\u201d, <em>Early Music<\/em>, vol. 43, no 3, Oxford University Press, ao\u00fbt 2015, pp. 471-491<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">De la disparition du cromorne \u00e0 sa red\u00e9couverte<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-12 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"33675\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/11-A-T1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Auguste Tolbecque, reconstitution d\u2019un cromorne alto, 1892-1896, Mus\u00e9e de la musique Paris, inv.

Une nature morte de Pieter Claesz, dat\u00e9e de 1628, en donne un t\u00e9moignage particuli\u00e8rement int\u00e9ressant. En effet, parmi les instruments dispos\u00e9s autour d\u2019un luth appara\u00eet une basse de cromorne munie de dispositifs permettant d\u2019\u00e9tendre son registre grave. Cette repr\u00e9sentation fait directement \u00e9cho aux basses historiques conserv\u00e9es et, plusieurs si\u00e8cles plus tard, \u00e0 la basse avec extension pr\u00e9sente dans la famille r\u00e9alis\u00e9e par Eric Moulder.<br>Au cours du XVII<sup>\u00e8me<\/sup> si\u00e8cle, le cromorne de la Renaissance se rar\u00e9fie cependant, avant de dispara\u00eetre de la pratique. En France, le terme \u201ccromorne\u201d continue d\u2019\u00eatre employ\u00e9, mais il d\u00e9signe \u00e9galement un autre instrument \u00e0 anche double appartenant \u00e0 la famille des hautbois. Le cromorne de l\u2019\u00e9poque de Louis XIV ne doit donc pas \u00eatre confondu avec le Krummhorn de la Renaissance. Au XVIII<sup>\u00e8me<\/sup> si\u00e8cle, ce dernier n\u2019est pratiquement plus jou\u00e9 et dispara\u00eet \u00e9galement de l\u2019iconographie musicale. Sa tradition de facture s\u2019interrompt alors pendant plusieurs g\u00e9n\u00e9rations et l\u2019instrument subsiste essentiellement dans les trait\u00e9s et \u00e0 travers les quelques exemplaires conserv\u00e9s dans les collections.<br>Il faut attendre la fin du XIX<sup>\u00e8me<\/sup> si\u00e8cle pour voir appara\u00eetre les premi\u00e8res tentatives de restitution. Entre 1892 et 1896, Auguste Tolbecque r\u00e9alise ainsi une famille de cromornes \u00e0 partir d\u2019un instrument ancien conserv\u00e9 au Mus\u00e9e instrumental de Bruxelles. Cette d\u00e9marche annonce celle qui prendra une ampleur beaucoup plus importante au si\u00e8cle suivant, \u00e0 savoir celle de revenir aux instruments conserv\u00e9s pour retrouver une facture disparue.<br>Au XX<sup>\u00e8me<\/sup> si\u00e8cle, et particuli\u00e8rement \u00e0 partir des ann\u00e9es 1960 et 1970, le mouvement de l\u2019interpr\u00e9tation historiquement inform\u00e9e donne une nouvelle dimension \u00e0 ces recherches. Il ne s\u2019agit plus seulement de reconstruire le cromorne comme t\u00e9moin du pass\u00e9, mais de le remettre en jeu, au sein des r\u00e9pertoires et des ensembles pour lesquels il avait \u00e9t\u00e9 con\u00e7u.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-13 is-layout-flex

cette red\u00e9couverte. En Grande-Bretagne, David Munrow contribue \u00e0 faire conna\u00eetre au public le cromorne et de nombreux autres vents de la Renaissance. En France, Jean-Claude Veilhan appartient \u00e0 la m\u00eame g\u00e9n\u00e9ration de musiciens. Clarinettiste de formation, il se tourne vers les instruments anciens afin d\u2019aborder des r\u00e9pertoires ant\u00e9rieurs \u00e0 celui de la clarinette moderne &#8211; sa pratique s\u2019\u00e9tendant rapidement aux fl\u00fbtes \u00e0 bec, chalumeaux, bombardes et cromornes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--14\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/2026\/09\/18\/collection-jean-claude-veilhan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">La collection d\u2019instruments de Jean-Claude Veilhan<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">D\u00e8s 1973, au Festival d\u2019Avignon, Veilhan joue ainsi des cromornes avec le <em>Florilegium Musicum<\/em> de Paris, aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s des fl\u00fbtes \u00e0 bec, bombardes, chalumeau et hautbois du Poitou.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cette diversit\u00e9 instrumentale t\u00e9moigne d\u2019une nouvelle mani\u00e8re d\u2019aborder la musique ancienne, dans laquelle retrouver les partitions ne suffit plus et s\u2019accompagne de la volont\u00e9 de restituer les instruments et les sonorit\u00e9s pour lesquels elles avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 con\u00e7ues. Cette d\u00e9marche conduit naturellement les interpr\u00e8tes vers les collections publiques et vers les facteurs. Le parcours de Veilhan en fournit un bon exemple puisque son travail associe recherches dans les biblioth\u00e8ques, \u00e9tude des instruments conserv\u00e9s et collaborations avec des facteurs capables d\u2019en proposer des restitutions jouables, comme Andreas Sch\u00f6ni et Olivier Cottet.

The crumhorn, which featured prominently in the music of the Renaissance and was gradually abandoned after that period, had a new lease of life in the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century thanks to musicians and makers who sought to revive early instruments by creating faithful copies of them. This set by Eric Moulder will be auctioned on 7 November 2026, alongside another set of four crumhorns and a straight crumhorn that belonged to Jean-Claude Veilhan, another key figure in the revival of period instruments.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">By C\u00e9cile Alves-Convert, archivist at Vichy Ench\u00e8res<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-7d812b4c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--18\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/2026\/09\/18\/collection-jean-claude-veilhan\/#english\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jean-Claude Veilhan&#8217;s collection of instruments<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--19\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/documents\/2026-11-07-vcp-138-catalogue-english.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Catalog<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--20\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.interencheres.com\/en-US\/art-decoration\/instruments-a-vent-et-a-cordes-pincees-687631\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sale on 6 November 2026<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--21\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.interencheres.com\/en-US\/art-decoration\/instruments-a-vent-et-a-cordes-pincees-687633\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sale on 7 November 2026<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--22\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/en\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contact<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--23\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/en\/vichy-encheres-3\/team\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Experts<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--24\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"#francais\">Version fran\u00e7aise<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The crumhorn: an instrument of the Renaissance<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With its characteristic curved end, the crumhorn is instantly recognizable.

is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This mechanism produces a rich and slightly nasal tone, but also limits the instrument&#8217;s range. Crumhorns generally have a rather narrow range, which explains why they were made in various complementary sizes and primarily played in consorts<a href=\"#_ftn2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The crumhorn is mentioned in historical sources as early as the late 15<sup>th<\/sup> century, and also appears in early 16<sup>th<\/sup>-century depictions of musicians, bearing witness to its role in Renaissance musical practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most famous examples is Vittore Carpaccio\u2019s <em>Presentation of Jesus in the Temple<\/em>, painted in 1510 and kept at the <em>Accademia<\/em> in Venice. This painting features in the foreground angels playing instruments, one of which is a crumhorn. Paired with the lute and the <a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/2022\/05\/09\/viola-da-braccio\/#english\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lira da braccio<\/a> in this angelic concert, the crumhorn does not appear as a secondary instrument, but rather takes its place within an ensemble selected to accompany a particularly solemn sacred scene. Its depiction thus testifies to its important place in early 16th-century instrumental practices, as well as the high regard in which it was held. Placed by Carpaccio alongside instruments associated with courtly life and sophisticated musical performance, it contributes here to the refined expression of the celestial concert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This inclusion of the crumhorn in an angelic concert is not unique. Three years later, in the Lorenz Tucher Epitaph created by Hans S\u00fc\u00df von Kulmbach based on a project by Albrecht D\u00fcrer, another musical angel plays a <em>Krummhorn<\/em> alongside a fiddle and a lute. The proximity of these two depictions, in Venice in 1510 and Nuremberg in 1513, illustrates the instrument\u2019s role in the musical and pictorial culture of the early 16th century. Their geographical separation highlights, above all, that the crumhorn belonged to an instrumental language extending far beyond any single artistic or musical centre. These two works, created just a few years apart in artistic contexts as distinct as Venice and Nuremberg, attest to the spread of the crumhorn during the early 16th century. Therefore, the crumhorn does not appear here as a rustic instrument, but rather finds its rightful place within the angelic concert. Rather than referring to a specific religious symbolism, this recurrence suggests both the success of the crumhorn and the high regard in which it was held within the musical culture of its time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" id=\"_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> David Munrow, Instruments de musique du Moyen \u00c2ge et de la Renaissance, Paris, Hier &amp; Demain, 1979, pp. 47-49<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"#_ftnref2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a> Barra R.

Like recorders or viols, it was conceived as part of a set in various sizes that allowed for the distribution of the vocal parts of a polyphonic composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Renaissance treatises attest to this, notably the work of Michael Praetorius<a href=\"#_ftn1\" id=\"_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>. &nbsp;In the second volume of his <em>Syntagma musicum<\/em>, published in 1619, are illustrated several sizes of <em>Krummh\u00f6rner<\/em>, ranging from high register to large bass instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This illustration makes it immediately clear why the set of instruments created centuries later by Eric Moulder is so interesting. With a soprano, an alto, two tenors and a bass, these five instruments recall the principle of the consort \u2013 a very common Renaissance practice of producing a single type of instrument in various sizes and ranges, enabling multiple instruments of the same type to play the different parts of a polyphonic composition together<a href=\"#_ftn2\" id=\"_ftnref2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" id=\"_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Michael Praetorius, Syntagma musicum, t.

With large crumhorns, the instrument&#8217;s length makes it impossible to reach certain fingerholes directly; a system of keys was therefore developed to access the lower register. Such mechanisms had already been observed on historical instruments, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/mimo-international.com\/MIMO\/doc\/IFD\/OAI_GNM_856004\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a 16th-century bass crumhorn held at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg<\/a>, which features two keys and two extension mechanisms for the lowest notes<a href=\"#_ftn2\" id=\"_ftnref2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The brass keys visible on some of Moulder\u2019s instruments are thus not merely decorative; they address construction challenges that Renaissance instrument makers had already encountered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" id=\"_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Barra R.

Among those, the Musical Instruments Museum in Brussels holds a remarkable set of six crumhorns, still housed in their original case. This set features in David Munrow\u2019s book on medieval and Renaissance instruments. The corresponding illustration is particularly revealing, as the sequence of different sizes immediately demonstrates the concept of the consort<a href=\"#_ftn1\" id=\"_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A comparative study of extant instruments allows to go even further. Philippe Allain-Dupr\u00e9 undertook research on group of thirty surviving instruments made by Ieorg Wier, a crumhorn maker active in Memmingen during the first half of the 16<sup>th<\/sup> century<a href=\"#_ftn2\" id=\"_ftnref2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a>. Comparing them reveals a remarkable consistency in proportions across the various sizes, offering insight into the principles that governed the creation of a crumhorn family. It demonstrates that assembling such a family was not merely a matter of empirically scaling a single model up or down; rather, their construction adhered to shared proportional relationships and design principles. Studying the entire group of instruments, as opposed to each example taken in isolation, allows to uncover the logic behind the design of an entire consort. This approach is crucial to understanding the work of modern makers, such as Eric Moulder, who have turned to historical collections to reproduce cohesive instrument families.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" id=\"_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> David Munrow, Instruments de musique du Moyen \u00c2ge et de la Renaissance, Paris, Hier &amp; Demain, 1979, p. 49<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"#_ftnref2\" id=\"_ftn2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a> Philippe Allain-Dupr\u00e9, \u201cThree newly discovered Ieorg Wier crumhorns\u201d, <em>Early Music<\/em>, vol. 43, no 3, Oxford University Press, ao\u00fbt 2015, pp. 471-491<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From the crumhorn\u2019s disappearance to its rediscovery<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-29 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/11-A-T1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"33675\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/11-A-T1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Auguste Tolbecque, reconstitution d\u2019un cromorne alto, 1892-1896, Mus\u00e9e de la musique Paris, inv.

A still-life painting by Pieter Claesz, dated 1628, offers particularly interesting evidence of this. Indeed, in it features, among the instruments arranged around a lute, a bass crumhorn with mechanisms designed to extend its lower range. This depiction is reminiscent of surviving historical bass instruments and, centuries later, the extended-range bass example found in the set of instruments created by Eric Moulder.<br>However, over the course of the 17<sup>th<\/sup> century, the Renaissance crumhorn became increasingly rare in musical practice, before eventually falling out of use. In France, the term &#8220;cromorne&#8221; remained in use, but it also came to designate a different double-reed instrument belonging to the oboe family. Consequently, the \u201ccromorne\u201d of the Louis XIV era should not be confused with the Renaissance <em>Krummhorn<\/em>. By the 18th century, the latter was rarely played and had all but vanished from musical iconography. The tradition of its manufacture was lost for several generations, and the instrument survived primarily in treatises and through the few examples preserved in collections.<br>It was not until the late 19<sup>th<\/sup> century that the first attempts were made at reproducing it. For instance, between 1892 and 1896 Auguste Tolbecque created a set of crumhorns based on an antique instrument held at the Musical Instrument Museum in Brussels. This approach foreshadowed a trend that would gain significant momentum in the following century: returning to preserved instruments to rediscover the lost art of making them.<br>In the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century, and particularly from the 1960s and 1970s onwards, the historically informed performance movement gave a new impetus to this research. The goal was no longer merely to reconstruct the crumhorn as a relic of the past, but to bring it back into active use within the repertoires and ensembles for which it was originally designed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-30 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure

In Great Britain, David Munrow helped introduce to the public the crumhorn and many other Renaissance wind instruments. In France, Jean-Claude Veilhan belongs to the same generation of musicians. He is a clarinettist by training, and turned to early instruments to explore repertoires predating the modern clarinet \u2013 his scope rapidly expanding to include recorders, chalumeaux, bombardes and crumhorns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--31\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/2026\/09\/18\/collection-jean-claude-veilhan\/#english\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jean-Claude Veilhan&#8217;s collection of instruments<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As early as 1973, at the Avignon Festival, Veilhan performed on crumhorns with the <em>Florilegium Musicum<\/em> of Paris, alongside recorders, bombardes, chalumeaux and Poitou oboes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This instrumental diversity reflected a new approach to early music, which went beyond the mere rediscovery of scores by aiming, as well, to recreate the instruments and timbres for which the music was originally conceived. This approach naturally led performers to public collections and instrument makers. Veilhan\u2019s career offers a prime example of this, as his work combined research in libraries, the study of extant instruments, and collaborations with makers such as Andreas Sch\u00f6ni and Olivier Cottet, who were capable of producing playable reproductions of instruments. Therefore, after a hiatus of several centuries, the crumhorn gradually made the transition from museum piece to concert instrument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is this very same approach that drives Eric Moulder, whose work does not aim to merely manufacture crumhorns, but to rediscover their construction methods through the direct study of historical instruments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-32 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2026-11-07-vcp-4448-26-trio-clarinettes-schoni-ex-veilhan-13-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"33633\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2026-11-07-vcp-4448-26-trio-clarinettes-schoni-ex-veilhan-13-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Trio de clarinettes Ut\/SiB\/La, de Andreas SCHONI Instruments provenant de la collection de Jean-Claude Veilhan Instruments mis en vente par Vichy Ench\u00e8res le 7 novembre 2026 \u00a9 Vichy Ench\u00e8res\/ Photo C.

The soprano occupies the upper register; the alto and the two tenors form the middle voices; and the bass covers the low register. The extended range of the bass instrument and the keys found on one of the tenors are reminiscent of the mechanical solutions featured on certain historical instruments.<br>These five instruments bear witness to two distinct stages in the history of the crumhorn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the one hand, they reflect the birth of the instrument during the Renaissance, and, in particular, the fact that it was an instrument designed as part of a family, intended to express the various voices of a polyphonic work with a unified tonal quality. On the other hand, they bear witness to the 20th-century revival of early music. Performers, such as Jean-Claude Veilhan, and instrument makers worked in tandem to revive repertoires and instruments whose traditions had been lost for centuries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Crumhorn Bending\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fM5VqTNMQ7Y?start=4&amp;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> \n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The set of instruments made by Eric Moulder thus forms part of the history of an instrument originally designed during the Renaissance to be played in a consort, and later rediscovered through the study of historical examples. It reflects the 20th-century efforts to rediscover its craft and enable its return to musical practice. This set of five crumhorns will be auctioned on 7 November 2026, alongside another set of four crumhorns and a straight crumhorn from the collection of Jean-Claude
