The crossbow was first developed by the Greeks in 5th Century BC, and was used widely throughout Asia throughout the Bronze Age. It is better known for its role in the clan wars and Crusades of the Middle Ages where it extended the range of both attacker and defender. The Medieval Crossbow ranged from tremendously powerful military weapons, capable of firing a bolt over half a mile, to hunting and target bows which were much lighter and very accurate. This medieval crossbow replica by Denix was loaded by putting a foot in the stirrup and drawing back the string with both hands. This is a non-functioning replica crossbow, making it safe for family environments. Denix makes excellent display pieces.

Our Medieval Tabor Drum 12 Inch has Two goat skin heads that are tied to a wooden frame with hemp rope. A hemp snare is tied to one head. The Playing surface is about 11.5". The drum is about 4.5" deep. Each drum is shipped with a pair of playing sticks.

This is an historic medieval reproduction drum. The English word "tabor" is derived from the Latin word for drum. Today we use the term tabor or refer to the two headed squat drums associated with the Fife and Drum. The thin shell of the tabor, looks like a frame drum shell with two heads. The shell is traditionally tin so the light weight instrument could be carried, and played, for long periods of time. The heads are usually rope tuned with a snare on one side. Players usually hang the drum from the forearm while using one stick to strike the snared head. The tabor is suspended by a strap from the forearm, somewhere between the elbow and wrist. They should never be played on a drum stand; which would muffle the sound. Today Tabors have a variety of names that reflect the cultures that play them as well as the different sizes of drum.

Our slim style medieval bagpipe is a 2 drone rosewood bagpipe with no mounts, a narrow bell on the chanter and is Played in the key of F. Comes with a black velvet cover.

In the early part of the middle ages, bagpipes began to appear with frequency in European art and iconography. The Cantigas de Santa Maria (mid-13th Century) depicts several types of bagpipes. Though evidence of bagpipes in the Brittan prior to the 14th Century is contested, bagpipes are explicitly mentioned in The Canterbury Tales: "A baggepype wel coude he blowe and sowne, And ther-with-al he broghte us out of towne."
