RENAISSANCE INSTRUMENTS

• Lute: the neck of the Renaissance lute was bent back; the strings were tuned in pairs and the fingerboard had frets.

• Viols: Flat back and six strings. Fretted fingerboard. Viols were held upright in front of the player rather than tucked under the chin

• Crumhorn: double-reed instrument

• Sackbut: It's an early kind of trombone.

• Trumpet: Without the valve system we know today (it was invented in the 19th century). The different notes were obtained by varying the lip pressure

• Percussion instruments: tabor, kettle drums, side drum, triangle and cymbals
