gemshorn
| In music, an obsolete type of recorder made from an animal's horn (especially that of a cow or goat). It disappeared from use during the 16th century. The name is also used for an organ stop of light, sweet tone, with conical pipes and usually 4-foot pitch (one octave above that written). |
