English Horn

The English Horn is one of the musical instruments belonging to the woodwind group, and within that group to the double reed subgroup like the oboe from which it derives. Since the positions of the fingers on the keys when playing are almost identical to those of the oboe, it is not very difficult for an oboist to make the transition.

The English horn is generally made of blackwood or cocobolo, perfect tonewoods due to their acoustic and natural properties. These woods are available in various sizes for the different parts of the instrument.
