A person who operates or plays a cromorna or cromorne, the Renaissance double-reed musical instrument.
Derived from cromorna/cromorne plus the agent suffix '-ster,' following the pattern of words like 'gangster' and 'youngster' to indicate a person engaged in an activity.
Cromsters appear in Renaissance court records and music manuscripts, though their profession largely disappeared after the Baroque period when new instruments replaced the cromorne's sound in orchestras.
