The following have not yet been sold and are still available for purchase
(24 November 2009).

Curtals and windcaps

• Tenor schryari with flared bell, extension key and 3 reeds and an alternative made top by me. The bell could not be taken off, so is probably glued on. I made a reed for it and it plays with a louder sound than the cornamuse. £150

Renaissance recorders

• Praetorius model wide-bore recorders.
  • Sopranino. Baroc fingering £100
  • Hopf Alto in a box. Wide bore. Does not play well above upper C. £150

Other Recorders

• Roessler baroc bass in a suitcase. Good sound with a full range up to top G. Four keys including one to enable a low F sharp. A 440. £500
• Unidentified Baroc sopranino recorder. The joint needed binding, as the cork had perished. Could only get up to upper C. £100
• Heinrich baroc treble (A 440) An average instrument but plays up to top G. £50
• Unidentified wide cylindrical bore alto recorder (A 440) Ganassi fingering up to top E Husky sound. £100
