We are delighted to introduce a new range of cornamuse, the first of a series of exciting new projects between EMS and Jo Kunath. The cornamuse is a windcap instrument, which resembles a straight crumhorn. Both instruments have a similar range but the cornamuse has a slightly softer tone due in part to its closed bell, which allows it to blend well with other instruments such as recorders. The new EMS cornamusen, made from seasoned maple, are available in four sizes, soprano, alto, tenor and bass. The EMS bass cornamuse has a plastic reed and two upward extension keys, giving it a range of F - bb. The bottom note is produced by a lower key operated by the little finger of either the left or right hand. Each cornamuse is supplied with an EMS plastic reed and tuned by our experienced in-house woodwind technician at the Saltaire workshops. The instrument comes with a two year warranty.

There are as many shapes and styles of dulcimers as there are players and mountain craftsmen. The EMS Appalachian dulcimer is more refined than some of the traditional, primitive mountain dulcimers. It is hourglass shaped, has 5 strings and features solid hardwood sides, head and fingerboard. The soundboard is made from solid spruce and it has a lacewood laminated back. Can be tuned to a variety of different tunings and includes a padded bag. The Appalachian dulcimer belongs to the psaltery or zither class of musical instrument and has been a folk instrument of the southern Appalachian mountains since the first pioneers settled there. It is a delightful instrument which is often strummed or plucked as an accompaniment to the human voice. In recent years it has evolved into a solo instrument, usually using the fingers, but sometimes bowed. Versatile, simple and easy to play, it is the perfect first instrument for a novice musician.
