Cow's horn/Goat's horn
  |
| Replica of a horn from Västerby in Sweden. It is made from
horn of cattle and has four finger holes. Similar instruments have been in
use until recently in Scandinavia. The original horn is now in
Dalarnas museum, Falun, Sweden.
On the Bayeux tapestry one can see a horn blower, apparently sounding
the signal to 'come and eat'. The tapestry was made around 1070, shortly
after William of Normandy had landed and conquered England. |
