They are by no means the only surviving examples by this maker, as the exhibition itself showed. Of sixteen early recorders on view, no less than half that number were by Bressan. Among these was another bass, lent by the St Peter Hungate Museum of Norwich; and the presence of these two very striking-looking instruments invited comparisons which form the basis of this paper. It so happens that a third, and exactly similar bass recorder, also by Bressan, has survived, and is preserved in the Victoria and Albert Museum. The existence of three such instruments, even from so prolific a maker as Bressan seems to have been, is a very remarkable circumstance. It is made the more so by the fact that James Talbot recorded the measurements of a Bressan bass during the maker's own lifetime. We are therefore able to compare existing instruments with a contemporary description, unusual in the minuteness of its data, and which, as will be shown, must relate to an instrument of the same type.
