There are many different types of Wind Instruments that were used back in Medieval and Renaissance times. These instruments were played for pleasure, at celebrations or feasts and also used for military purposes. The main types of Wind Instruments you'll find here at Medieval Collectibles are Traditional Scottish Bagpipes, Practice Chanters, all kinds of Flutes and many types of Horns, even some Civil War style bugles.

Bagpipes

Medieval Collectibles has selected only the best, top quality, yet affordable Traditional Scottish Bagpipes to offer to you for your re-enacting needs. Our bagpipes are made of beautiful woods like Cocus wood, Blackwood and Rosewood and have either Black or Tartan covers. Aside from the Scottish style, we also offer a few Medieval Style Bagpipes along with many different Practice Chanters. Practice Chanters are great for practicing or learning how to play the Bagpipe. Our practice chanters are available in the same types of wood and some even come with instructional books or CD's. And for the little ones, we have Toy Bagpipes, so they can "play" along with Mom and Dad. Our bagpipes come with everything you need to get started.

Flutes

The Flute has a very recognizable and disctinct sound, which usually reminds you of old world music. Our Flutes are perfect for creating Period music whether you are in a group or perform alone. We have quite a few different styles, there are Bamboo Flutes, Irish Flutes and Medieval Pipes (similar to a recorder). These flutes will add a lovely sound to your music.

Horns

Horns, Bugles and Trumpets were quite popular instruments during the Renaissance. The traditional Fanfare Trumpet is very well known and was probably used at every ceremony, town meeting and in every Royal Court. We have Hunting Horns to celebrate the feast that was caught and bugles which were used more for military purposes. Our Horns and Trumpets are great for Re-enactments, Medieval and Renaissance Weddings and Parties and Renaissance Fairs.
