also called Mirliton or Eunuch-flute (»tibia quam vulgo nuncupant Eunucham« Mersenne) or Speachdrum

A Mirliton is no „membranophone“ but an instrument changing the player‘s sound and is used for humming. It almost works like a ‘kazoo‘. Through humming a membran (originally from onion inner skin) is activated that gives the sound a strong rustle quality. An instrument everybody can play (from baby to grandfather). It is an incredibly delicate and sensible musical instrument proved to be excellent for therapy.

I build Mirlitons representing originals from Munic, Lucerne and Budapest. All models are available in 3 sizes: small - medium - large.

It is called „tibia álexis“ because of the effects that can be seen in therapeutical applications: defense against illnesses - protection from illnesses.

My rebec is a reproduction of the oldest known rebec from the 13th century (formerly in the collection of „Preußischer Kulturbesitz“). Having three strings (g-d-a) you will be surprised to find out that it does not sound like a „croaking raven“ but like a small violin with a wonderful timbre.

Pitch sticks for transverse flutes (to adjust the corc stop) can be played as a piccolo flute (without claim of correct intonation or tuning). Various wood materials are available
