I don’t think I’ve mentioned this yet, but I’ve got a dulcian of my own! Already for a while actually, but because of the orchestra gig on modern bassoon, couldn’t really start playing it until this week. Very nice instrument, stable and in tune, made by Wouter Verschuren. We’ve got a choir concert coming up with motets by Schütz, so just to have something to play, played through the bass parts just now. It works so well! The loaner I had was impossibly unstable.

Had a dulcian-lesson yesterday with a teacher I hadn't met before, always a bit nerve wracking beforehand! But it was a very nice lesson. :) I get to loan a better dulcian than the one I had before, in order to attend a workshop next weekend. It was sooo much easier to play on a better instrument!

The teacher compared playing on a bad instrument to trying to balance a marble on a tray. That is spot on! On my old dulcian the pitch will just not stay stable.
