minstrel: brass fanfares

[toni seales]

As long as we are discussing compromises in the world
of doing early music in the real (?SCA) world...I took
up trombone, being told a 'hackbut' is a good
inexpensive loud band instrument.  I like it enough to
start looking for a real sackbut.  We've been asked to
do little announcements before courts, and I've been
looking for early fanfares.  Since the brass
instuments basically do fourths and fifths easily, I
can't tell which are older or newer.  Any starting
points would be appreciated.
Also, sackbuts seem to be rarer than many other
instruments.  Any leads would be appreciated.
Also! I would like to get a lead for the 'eppinette'
dulcimer relative if that gentleman has any internet
sites I could go to.
Thanks, Antonia de Galicia
