See also:PLATERSPIEL, BLATERPFEIFE , a See also:medieval simplified bagpipe, consisting of an insufflation See also:tube, a See also:bladder and a chaunter; the dcuble See also:reed in its socket at the See also:top of the chaunter being concealed within the bladder. In the platerspiel we recognize the See also:early medieval See also:chorus, a word which in medieval Latin was frequently used also for the bagpipe. In the earlier forms of platerspiels of which we possess illustrations, such as the well-known example of the 13th See also:century reproduced by See also:- MARTIN (Martinus)

bell, the See also:grotesque See also:head of an See also:animal with gaping jaws. At first the chaunter was a straight conical tube terminating in a bell, as in the bagpipe. The later See also:instruments have a See also:pipe of larger calibre more or less curved and See also:bent back as in the See also:cromorne. One of these appears in the 13th-century See also:Spanish MS., known as the
Cantigas de See also:Santa Maria' in the Escurial, together with a platerspiel having two pipes, a chaunter and a See also:drone See also:side by side. Another is figured by Virdung (1511).
There was practically no technical difference between the bent platerspiel and the cromorne, the only distinction being the See also:form and See also:size of the See also:air-chamber in which the reed was set in vibration by the compressed air forced into it through the insufflation tube or the raised slit respectively of the two instruments. The earlier form of platerspiel is found at the end of the 15th century, in the magnificent See also:Book of See also:Hours, known as the See also:Sforza Book' (Brit. See also:Mus.). An interesting allusion to the platerspiel occurs in an old See also:English ballad.3 Eight shepherds were playing on various instruments: " the fyrst hed ane drone bagpipe, the next hed ane pipe maid of ane bleddir and of ane See also:reid, the thrid playit on ane See also:trump, &c.," from which it is evident that the platerspiel retained its individuality and did not become merged in the bagpipe.
