  are four brethren\, all excellent and esteemed above all others in this c
 ity in their virtue\," was the report from Edmond Harvel\, King Henry VIII
 's agent in Venice\, upon hearing the Bassanos. Not long after\, many memb
 ers of this Italian (and likely Jewish) family of wind players and instrum
 ent builders moved to Henry VIII's court\, while others remained in Italy 
 as important members of the Venetian musical scene. Over the next few deca
 des\, this family extended the frontiers of instrumental music. The wind p
 layers of Piffaro look at one of the most potent examples of musical immig
 ration in 16th century Europe - the story of the Bassano family.\n\n“Wid
 ely regarded as North America's masters of music for Renaissance wind band
 ” (St Paul Pioneer Press)\, Piffaro delights audiences throughout the wo
 rld with highly polished recreations of the rustic music of the peasantry 
 and the elegant sounds of the official wind bands of the late Medieval and
  Renaissance periods. Its musicians perform on shawms\, dulcians\, sackbut
 s\, recorders\, krumhorns\, bagpipes\, lutes\, guitars\, harps\, and a var
 iety of percussion — all careful reconstructions of instruments from the
  period. \n\nClick HERE for more details.
