How did they make their instruments in the middle ages?
Most stringed instruments of the Middle Ages were made much as acoustic instruments are today, from wood and glue. There were some important differences, such as that instead of frets being made of metal, they made their frets by tying strings around the necks of instruments. Horns and trumpets tended to be made of wood instead of metal during the middle ages, and had holes for fingering, much as recorders do. The sackbut was very like a trombone, however, and was metal. The woodwinds tended to have simple holes without all the fancy fingering levers used today. Transverse flutes were not favored in many places in Europe, with emphasis going to recorders and flageolets instead. All these instruments were made much like recorders are currently made. Pipe organs were developed from primitive instruments into nearly what they are today, and changed a lot during this time. The manufacture changed with the times, and cannot be characterized easily.
