A shawm is a wooden, double-reed wind instrument that was commonly used in medieval and Renaissance music. It has a tapered shape and produces a loud, penetrating sound, thanks to its double reed, which vibrates when air is blown through it. The shawm typically features a set of finger holes and is played by covering these holes to produce different pitches. Known for its bright and somewhat piercing tone, the shawm was often used in outdoor performances and ceremonial music, and it is considered a precursor to the modern oboe.
