[@LuxarMoon]

[@SlendeSt59]

In this video we are using: hurdy gurdy, lansknechtendrum, shawm,tambourin and the stringinstrument is a cittern.

[@krockodilen]

Sweet! reminds me of war

[@jikufurido]

Epic!

[@greebouk2k]

[@trapanatans]

It is shawm - double reed instrument of the oriental origin and the predecessor of the oboe.

[@SlendeSt59]

We do have cd's indeed: have a look at our website slagendestoot(dot)nl. If you would like to buy cd's, on the website you can read how to place an order.

[@WaltarRa]

Muy bonito :D

[@pifapastoral]

oh the epicness

[@kidrussian555]

i=t sounds like something done either before a battle or at camp after the battle, to boost the spirits of the soldiers

[@SlendeSt59]

Hi, I am the singer of this band. We are medieval folkgroup Slag ende Stoot. Since short we have uploaded our new videoclip "marching up the battle" on youtube. The melodie is original medieval, the lyric has been written by myself. It describes a medieval army of knights and their men, who are going on their way to a battle.

[@acerb4566]

Cavalry Charges. i've seen old films of Polish Cavalry doing the same contest as in the video. here there was not enough space to get into a full run!!= Full Speed!!! the horseman must fly past that post like lightning. sword a shining streak of silver light. but the music was great!

[@SlendeSt59]

It's a replica of the medieval shawm which was introduced in this part of Europe since the time of the crusades.

[@ArelitaM]

A M A Z I N G !!!!!

[@totallyfrozen]

It sounds similar to an Oboe. I'm not familiar with this instrument but the oboe is a double reed instrument which makes me think that THIS instrument may also be a doubled reed instrument. It certainly has a double reed sound to it.

[@marmota26]

this group sounds great and i think that the cd is better ;) i have it =D so you catn bought it too ok just that very good band

[@Alphas0]

medieval drum n bass XD

[@metabog]

Hmm never heard of that word. Will have to look it up.

[@niure86]

Yeah, an octave mandolin (bigger, and tuned an octave below the mandolin)

[@breakingbisley]

this music is fantastic can anyone tell me if that long pipe hes playing a crumhorn or some sort of shawm?

[@cyrus234]

protect the land we own!!

[@Whiskey_and_Steel]

I'm with Dolofonos!

[@Dementrius]

The stringed instrument is clearly not a lute, as there is not a backward sloped headstock. It is a Cittern.

[@flamady28]

nice lute

[@SlendeSt59]

The outfits are 15th century replica's

[@VooDooEf]

nicee btw i heard this music in the game stronghold 2

[@amocualli]

what is the name of the wind instuments is a type of flute? can i buy it on any part of networld

[@DogeKhan]

why dont they have a tournament with jousting knights?

[@hazarkus]

Basically, heavier and louder. It just is mighty overpowering. Good for the environment as no amplification is needed.

[@DivineIntervention13]

what and where do i get a smashed sounding flute

[@Joyride37]

Sorry for asking but what are the names of the instruments used? I recognize the drum and tamborine, obviously, and the hurdy gurdy, but what's the stringed and wind instruments?

[@SlendeSt59]

The shawm is a replica from the medieval shawm which was introduced in this part of Europe since the crusades. And it's certainly not an Indian nadaswaram. We don't know anything of the used rhythms in the middle ages: there's no music notation as nowadays. During all the ages musicians have played the music in a way they like most. The outfits are 15th century replica's. In the M.A. the people washed themselves and also their clothes. The food wasn't rancid at all!

[@hazarkus]

As far as I know they are an amateur band and have no CDs for sale. As you may guess, the sound and visuals are 10 times better when experienced live. This is an annual event.

[@gre8]

Isn't the stringed instrument some sort of mandolin?

[@BaronVonKenny]

What is the wind instrument called ?

[@niniomigrania]

Hi! Im currently programming a medieval game and im interested in the music, i would like to know names of bands, artists, or compilations wich plays this kind of music. Not lyrical, just instruments, any help will be appreciated.

[@metabog]

What wind instrument is that?

[@totallyfrozen]

This is melodic and feels happy. How is that like Black Metal in ANY way?

[@iLynux]

LoL. Troubadours are badasses. Fuck yeah!

[@metabog]

Hmm I looked it up and it doesn't sound like this, must be something else. Some kind of flute maybe, the end looks like a trumpet.

[@niure86]

It's a long shawn :)

[@SlendeSt59]

Shawm, hurdy-gurdy,landsknechtendrum, cittern, tambourine, cimbals

[@kadafter]

LOOOL

[@wladzilla]

loool - very dynamic

[@Marcfj]

This is weird, but this music makes me want to pick up a sword and fight.

[@gre8]

Oh, not sure of it, just asking really, i'm not a real scholar in medieval instruments, to be real, I only truly know the Cor Anglais, the Lute and the Mandolin.

[@Verholm]

Nice fantasy. Sounds nice too! But, I notice that the "shawm" the guy is playing is actually a south Indian nadaswaram, and the accompanying drum is a djembe, ubiquitous today but certainly unknown in the middle ages (especially playing the syncopated rhythms heard on the video.) But we shouldn't be too fanatical about authenticity. After all, we'd then be forced to not allow anyone over 60 to attend, the costumes would be filthy, the food rancid and everyone would stink!

[@SlendeSt59]

It's a cittern

[@SlendeSt59]

it's a cittern

[@MathijsIgnoul]

Well, if you think every comment someone makes should change something, then I think life will have plenty of disappointments for you.

[@totallyfrozen]

No. You've got me there. I don't really listen to much black metal.

[@SlendeSt59]

Thanks!!
