Tungehorn

The tungehorn (Norwegian: tongue horn) is a woodwind instrument used in traditional Norwegian music, which has a single-reed attached to a conical cow or goat horn. The instrument is single-reeded, with a separate reed body inserted into the instrument (heteroglot aerophone). The reed, or tunge is generally made of juniper, but spruce, maple, and birch bark have been used, as well as metal. The instrument is minimally documented, and nearly became extinct, and thus is little known in modern Norwegian folk music.
