Der Sackpfeyffer zu Linden - Crumhorn Preamble: The crumhorn has nothing to do with the brass-wind instrument horn (except that's a wind instrument too). The crumhorn is a double-reed wood-wind instrument with a cylindrical bored curved tube that's finished with a conical bore. The double-reed resides in a windcap. It has 8 small fingerholes including a hole for the left thumb. The lowest tone is handled with a key on large instruments. Modern instruments – an alto and a bass crumhorn are shown above – moreover have two keys for the left forefinger and the left thumb. The small fingerholes enable crossfingerings. The crumhorn has a moderate large range to slide the tones in relation to European wood-wind instruments. That allows to exactly tune the tones especially in a crumhorn ensemble but the exact tuning of the tones is the greatest difficulty by playing of the crumhorn.
