In later music, the instrument made of ox horn fills the gap between the flageolet and the recorder. [60] The mouthpiece of the instrument is at the top of the wide end of the horn; the large hole has been filled in with a blowing hole left at the top. A soundhole to create the sound is cut into the sidewall of the horn, along with fingerholes ...
