A consort of instruments was a phrase utilized in the European nation throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to point an instrumental ensemble. These may be of constant or a range of instruments. Usually, there were six instruments used in renaissance consort. Renaissance Crumhorn Consort is an example of Renaissance consort. These wind-cap double-reed aerophones with a homogeneous timbre were meant to be played together as a consort to perform polyphonic music.
