Hornpipe (musical instrument)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The hornpipe is a woodwind instrument incorporating animal horn around the reed, at the sounding end, or both. It is a single-reed instrument, in some cases played with the mouth and in others with a bag. It was also known as the pibcorn, pibgorn, or piccorn.
