YOUNGSTERS got to grips with some early instruments at an Elizabethan music workshop this weekend.
North-East group The Palatine Waits invited young players to join in songs and dances from the Tudor period. They showed off some of the forerunners to our modern instruments, such as the viol, from the string family, the crumhorn wind instrument and the sackbut, from the brass family.
The event, at the Fulling Mill Museum of Archaeology, in The Banks, Durham, aimed to bring to life the museum's Tudor Times exhibition, which runs until March 14.
