1569—Bremen, Germany

Three musicians apply for positions as trumpeters and Spielleute for the city of Bremen. They indicate they are capable of performing to the council’s satisfaction “with all kinds of these or other commonly used musical instruments, as with cornett and trombones [Bassunen], trumpets, crumhorns, viols, flutes and recorders, and others of a similar type” (Meyer, The Crumhorn, 137).
