{"code":"V3ANNV","title":"Reinventing woodwind instuments","speakers":["87DTBZ"],"submission_type":1,"track":4,"tags":[2],"state":"confirmed","abstract":"Experimental archeology to understand the development of woodwind instruments. What I learned about woodwind instruments by using a spoon drill to make a bore and a whip lathe to reinvent medieval woodturning.\r\n\r\nI will discuss cylindrical and conical bores, why they are different in a musical sense and why the technology of the times favours one over the other.\r\n\r\nI will also link some peculiar instruments to the medieval education system of the guilds.","description":"The famous leather archeologist Olaf Goubitz once said \"You can only understand a historical shoe after you have made it\".\r\n\r\nAfter following a hobby course in instrument building and a year working as a medieval woodworker in the historical theme park Archeon, I wanted to go back to the roots and build instruments with the tools of the time.\r\n\r\nI basically want to become a medieval instrument builder's apprentice, even tough all masters are gone for centuries. With this talk I want to share what I have learned so far.","duration":25,"slot_count":1,"content_locale":"en","do_not_record":false,"image":"http://program.why2025.org/media/why2025/submissions/V3ANNV/MiddeleeuwsDraaien2_LT7FEN6.png","resources":[46],"slots":[13177],"answers":[]}
