dulcian definition and meaning

What is a "dulcian"?

A dulcian is a wooden wind instrument that is the predecessor of the modern bassoon. It has a long, tapered body with a curved shape and uses a double reed to produce sound. The dulcian has a rich, deep tone and was commonly used in Renaissance and early Baroque music. It is played by blowing air through the reed while covering holes along the body to change pitch. The dulcian's distinctive sound and historical significance make it an important part of early music ensembles.
