Hi Janice! Music is in my soul. I just play what I feel. But actually this instrument DOES sound very medieval! One is C, and the other F β€” a 5th apart. So I actually DO play medieval-sounding music. πŸ˜‰

It only gets an octave and a half. So most written music I can’t play β€” unfortunately. I thought the more expensive ones must get more than 1 1/2 octave, but I looked up the Philippe Bolton, and it’s the same.

BUT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! (I have an alto recorder, 5 Native American flutes in different keys, including an amazing Aeolian Double in A that I LOVE!, and 4 bamboo side-blown flutes in different keys. But this double recorder and the double Aeolian flute are my new Favorites. 😊

And I have 2 harps and 2 Lyres. So actually I guess I AM mostly drawn to playing midieval and ancient-sounding music. I play very Egyptian-sounding music on my Lyres a lot. (Been to Egypt twice.) πŸ˜‰
