A krummhorn is a wooden, double-reed wind instrument with a distinctive curved shape. It features a set of reeds that produce a soft, reedy sound when air is blown through them. The instrument has a unique, slightly nasal tone and is used primarily in Renaissance and early Baroque music. The krummhorn typically has a tapered shape and is played by covering holes along its body to change pitch. It is valued for its historical sound and its role in early music ensembles.
