Description

The signal horns are grouped according to place or region of manufacture. The geographical order shows on the one hand the widespread distribution and on the other hand differences and similarities regarding construction and materials.
The indicated keynote was calculated from the instrument length and refers to a1=440 Hz. This makes it possible to compare the instruments, some of which have changed in the course of time. Historical tunings are not taken into account.
