Preserved specimen
brass wind instrument consisting of a beating reed joined to a conical tube, which, unlike the clarinet and clarone, has the advantage of producing both odd and even harmonics.
It resembles, in its external form, the clarion, but differs from it in both matter and mechanics, the ring system being practiced in it.
