Sounds LikeDepending on the style of reed, the color ranges from that of the Armenian duduk to a crumhorn or sordune. Some hear the sound as clarinet-like, which is also said about the duduk. Depending on the literature, I even try for an oboe d'amore quality, although the douçaine is clearly more buzzy in comparison.

   About Aage
Current positions: Bass clarinetist, founder and co-director of Darkwood Consort (collaborative duo with viola) since 1992; adjunct professor of clarinet/bass clarinet and chamber music for both The College of Idaho and Northwest Nazarene University; bass clarinetist with the Boise Philharmonic since 1988; bass clarinetist with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony since 1998; douçaine and founder of Virelai des Bois; douçaine and voice with Academy of St. Giles. I am also doing graduate work in early music and history at Boise State University, where the douçaine is the focus of my research and performance work. My bass clarinet exploits are well documented on the Darkwood Consort pages, so I have dedicated this page to the tenor douçaine, which is the focus of my graduate work in early music. My instrument was made by Phil Neuman in Oregon City, who makes replicas of the open double reed bass douçaine found on the Mary Rose, as well as altos and tenors based on that design. He has also made instruments for Piffaro, the Renaissance wind band, early reed specialist Debra Nagy, and Case Western Reserve University, where Dr. Nagy teaches. The bass douçaine found on the Mary Rose is the only extant model of the instrument that had baffled historians for ages. There are very few instrument makers making replicas and only a handful of players. The cylindrical bore allows for a quiet sound and over-blowing at the twelfth (although it is not currently common practice to over-blow on the douçaine). The eight holes in front and one in back allow full chromatic fingerings for a tenth, with a transitional open note before overblowing the twelfth. Notes above the twelfth or thirteenth are unstable, as the holes are very small and the thumb hole must be covered at least 75% to go any higher. However, on a long and slender reed, I have been able to play 2 1/2 octaves .

Thanks Aage!

Is that a bombarde in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me...

I love that rich, big double-reed sound. Do you know any improvisers that use these horns?

hey Aage!
We haven't chatted in a while. Great to hear from you!

Yes, RFD should be out this fall....
I've been pretty busy, working a lot, and making art. Stay tuned for the Mouthbows site revamp.

Peace brother,

Hej Aage - mange tak for tipset. Har allieret mig med min musik-butik som har lovet at forsøge at få fat i nogle af dine udgivelser...
Venlig hilsen Jørn O.

Hej Aage - nyder stadig dine musiske udfoldelser her på sitet - har desværre ikke kunnet finde noget af din musik i min butik i Aalborg. Måske skal jeg søge lidt bredere?
Fortsat god vind fremover...

Hej Aage - rigtig hjertelig tillykke med fødselsdagen - håber vejret er bedre hos dig, her småregner det. Mange tak for din mail - dine dansk-kundskaber er vist betydelig bedre end mine Engelske.
Nu må det så snart være på tide du besøger dine rødder igen. Håber du får en rigtig hyggelig dag!
