The Serpent Website

The Serpent is one of the most improbable musical instruments ever devised. In use almost continuously since its first appearance in 1590, it continues to find a place even in today's high-tech musical environment. This website provides basic information on all aspects of the instrument, from its early history through the present day.

The content of The Serpent Website is intended for the interested lay person, not for serious musical research. News and other timely information is excluded, since there are other sources of information specializing in those areas. Refer to the listed publications, periodicals, organizations and links and forum for more information.
