Roosebeck Satinwood Bombard with Reed

The Roosebeck Satinwood Bombard with Reed is a small, double-reed instrument, similar to a soprano shawm in range but shorter in length. A bombard in the key of D is slightly shorter than a soprano recorder in the key of C. Bombards were used in the middle ages and are still used in some Celtic music. They are quite loud, despite their small size. Their tone is high and penetrating. Our Roosebeck Satinwood Bombard with Reed is 12.25 inches long, the bell is 3 inches in diameter. Comes with cane reeds.
