So I'm trying something I've wanted to do for quite some time, and that is to create a 3d printable renaissance and medieval instrument library!

There are hole-drill and position charts taken from renaissance instruments... And its those I'm using to recreate my instruments!

My instrument families I want to address are:

Recorders
shawms
crumhorns
cornetts
serpents
racketts

My first attempt was almost a success!

#3dprinted #recorder #garklein

This is my first instrument design, which is a supra-sopranino recorder, or also called a garklein.

Importantly: IT PLAYS!

However there's a problem - ?my old slicer had a bug that generated reversed resin images, so I had to re-flip to correct. Turns out that big was fixed 🙄 so my print is reversed fingering.

But for a version 1 initial iteration, it actually plays properly!

This is a reproduction of a sopranino/soprano from This recorder is from https://bergstrom.dk/early-baroque-recorders/copenhagen-2009-3/

And the graciously provided blueprints https://en.natmus.dk/fileadmin/user_upload/Editor/natmus/musikmuseet/Dokumenter/sopraninoblokfloejte.pdf

Im identifying period instruments that can be reconstructed in CAD, making them, and then printing them.

I'm doing this for the #SCA #Music #musician so that we can have inexpensive different temperament instruments with 1 year+ leadtimes and costs of $1500 and up.
