Thanks for this Jörg! Are the carans single or double reeded? I assume the caranar is like a regal and has single reeds, or am I wrong there? (If so, a lovely, raucous sounding instrument, in my opinion!) Have you worked out any scales or modes? Is the music monophonic or polyphonic, etc.? Since the siphilir almost certainly has whistle-like pipes (much like an organ's pipes *here*), is the siphil a recorder or flageolet like instrument? I notice you explicitly leave out the "brass" instruments -- horns, cornetts, trumpets, busines and the like -- is that intentional? Do the Elves have no tradition of such instruments?
