Soprano Dulcian
The bajoncillo is the smallest form of the bajón.
Equipped with the usual two keys, this bajoncillo originally had some brass
mounts that have been lost, including a key cover and garlands on the bell and
lower end. The monogram is not yet identified with a particular maker, but may
have been the mark of an otherwise unidentified Spanish maker named
Martinez.
