The Renaissance used very interesting instruments. The harp is one which is a stringed instrument that is played when sitting. The gamba similar to the cello, is a stringed instrument and is played while sitting and the gamba is placed between the legs. The duican is a woodwind instrument of the Renaissance. The bass crumb horn was invented in the beginning of the 15th century. Crumb horn means curved horn. The horn is blown at the top to create a sound. The violin is a stringed instrument and is played under the chin. It is played with a wooden stick and on one side is usually horsehair to make a sound.
There are some interesting composers in the Renaissance. Antoine Brumel was born in 1460 and he died in 1520. William Byrd was born in 1543 and he died in 1623, he was one of the best composers in his generation.
