Having most recently taken to playing a wooden Chalumeau [ early version of Clarinet] along with keeping up with my long-established Concertina [ and occasionally accordion].. I am quite pleased the way the Chalumeau, with its reedy voice like timbre, mingles in well with my metallic reeded concertina. And they are aerophone family of instruments anyway. The accordion [ my late father's originally which I inherited years ago] of course is in closer sound value to my concertina; and the Chalumeau with its direct, simple wooden structure, and single cane reed, falls in-between the two - but they all seem to complement each other [ sound wise I mean]. I have also heard people here on C.net perform with variety of different instruments, and they often sound very good too. Each type has its particular character, or range; for example the little Chalumeau [ keyless variety] sounds deeper toned than one may expect on appearance and has to be transposed a lot to fit its range, which I like to do anyway, [ I recently played a Telemann piece intended originally for Oboe d'amore on it] and it sounded really quite nice with it, having a similar sound to oboe d'amore, at least to my way of thinking]. The concertina has very wide range from low notes to high. The Accordion [ in C sharp] sounds good medium to low tonally, and Chalumeau even though small in appearance, has unusually deep tone, and so put them together and you have a sort of trio of musical instruments that complement each other. Just think how mixed musical choice was back in medieval times; with all the variety of things they used then; crumhorns, recorders, portative organs, hurdy-gurdy, sackbut, many later obsolete, but remained as choice for the specialist, or more curious musician to rediscover later on. What a rowdy sound they all made together, but what fun too!!! Carry-on with mixing all together I say!🙂
