Period instruments
Period instruments are musical instruments that are historically authentic to the time when a particular piece of music was composed. They are either original instruments from that era or modern replicas built using traditional methods and materials. These instruments help musicians and listeners experience the sound and character intended by the composer, offering an authentic performance that reflects the instrument's historical context. Using period instruments provides insights into the performance techniques and tonal qualities of the time, enriching our understanding and appreciation of early music.
