A bedon is a membranophone (drum-like musical instrument) usually built with two membranes.[citation needed]
It seems to appear during the 14th century in France as examples are found in
Jehan Froissart
's poetry (Poésies, II, 352, 61 dans Gdf. Compl. : Princes, dont fu li grans bedons Sonnes, et en juoit Symons, Et Guios de la canemelle).
Examples of instruments can be found in images such as wood carvings in Medieval
choir stalls (for instance in Rouen[1]
) dating from the 15th century.
