The bass curtal in F and the tenor curtal in C were
designed for the renaissance and early baroque part music and for the
more demanding 17th century solo and continuo repertoire.
The bass curtal is free blowing and agile with
straight-forward fingering and a reliable high register up to g. The
instrument can be tuned to play Bb with either the bassoon forked
fingering or the simple one-fingered Bb.
The tenor curtal is versatile enough in tone and range to
play parts from low G and alto parts that do not rise above c as well
as the prescribed tenor parts. It can be used to blend smoothly in a
vocal ensemble or ring out in a shawm band.
Both instruments are pitched at either A-440Hz or A-466Hz and
built with the standard two brass keys under key covers. They are
available in cherrywood, pearwood or maple.
