The Renaissance shawm (forerunner of the modern oboe) is a double reed
instrument with a wide conical bore that flares quickly towards the end into
a large bell.
These two attributes (wide bore and large bell) give the shawm its
characteristic power and tone, making it suitable for outdoor playing and
use with large consorts. The strident sound of a shawm carries well in a
noisy environment.

and polished by our own craftsmen.

adjustment of the cane reed and overblows at the octave to give a range of a
little over one and a half octaves, f' - d''.
The Soprano Shawm has a pirouette fitted onto a brass staple for
the safe handling of the cane reed. The Soprano is the most commonly used
voice of the shawm family having a playable range of two octaves c' - c'''.
