reed horn

Stearns #0592

Europe

Italy

From the 1921 Stearns Catalogue: This horn has a long, bottle-shaped body with a slightly bent neck into which a brass single beating reed is secured. Apparently this is a modern adaptation of the tromba di zucca, both in material and form, but it leaves much to be desired.
