Links

Before you visit and links to other websites, you might also like to see information about books and recorded music which relate to flageolets.

General Information:

There are very few websites about flageolets.

Philippe Perlot runs the only other website I have found devoted just to the flageolet.
http://www.leflageoletfrancais.com/
This site has four pictures, apparently the same as those in Sterling Illustrated Encyclopedia of Musical Instruments:
http://www.musicologie.org/sites/flageolet.html
“Iconographie de la cornemuse inventaire des representations conservees en France” contains two pages (in French) on the Flageolet, with a very useful facsimile of two pages of Meissonnier’s “Méthod pour le flageolet”:

“Elstub” has uploaded the plates from Carse’s Musical Wind Instruments which includes several flageolets:
