"Babysitter" by Robin Wood, Dragon 155, March 1990
Yay - here is something new to me...I always love that. A double recorder. (I remember a video by this performer playing the drum and tabor.) I did a (very) little reading about the double recorder and here is what I found.
“Double recorders weren’t common in the 16th century, but they did happen. The two pipes lay side-by-side and were carved from a single block of wood. There are two forms of this instrument, one where the holes are pierced in staggered positions and the other where the holes are side-by-side. The side-by-side version survived because adjacent holes could be stopped by fingers on the other hand—it was a more limber instrument to play, but it also required a certain agility from the player.
Double recorders during the Baroque were bored out of the same piece of wood with the finger holes close together so that each pair could be closed with a single finger. The width of the holes, the bore of the tubes, and the position of the flutes in the block was different for each of the two instruments, and it was possible to obtain an interval of a third between each pair of parallel finger holes. The instrument was popular in England and Switzerland. A fellow called Christian Schlegel of Basel was one of the best double recorder makers in the 18th century.” -- https://coloraturaconsulting.com/2013/06/26/instrument-biography-the-recorder/

Medieval double recorder, via
Taken, once again, from Montpellier Codex, No.12. The original is in three parts. The arrangement has been made by combining the top two parts, taking whichever one works better at any given moment, and adding the lowest part more-or-less unchanged. The double recorder is the simplest one to play out of the few kinds I make. The performance is a bit rushed, but then, I do not play regularly.
