english horn
The English horn is a double-reed woodwind instrument characterized by its pear-shaped bell and bent metal crook to which the reed is attached. Despite its name, it is not a horn and is not exclusively English, but is actually a larger and deeper-sounding relative of the oboe, producing rich and melancholic tones. It is commonly used in orchestras, concert bands and chamber music.
