Musical tastes change of course.  One of the most obvious ones that just
about everyone would know is the Disney movie Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs.  Someday my Prince will Come??!?!?!?  Not with that tremolo honey.

This is the 21st Century we all have ears (well most ) of this time, how can
anyone possibly say how it sounded? Mediaeval musicians took what they could
get and (probably) made the best of it using the ears that they had.
Probably European. Some people may choose to regress their choice of
instruments and change the name slightly to make it sound like something
authentic but it is just what we here would call fire wood.

Both Strad. and Amatti were superb professional makers and I believe that
they chose how to make the instruments sound THEN. 
Early recordings. There are NO recordings of early celtic music IT DOES NOT
EXIST. The early English, Scots and so on folk music throughout Europe is on
cylinder. It sounds dreadful. Not the music the sound. If you take the sound
and digitally correct it so it is even and no clicks etc. it still sounds
all wrong to 21st Century ears. JON
