hunting horn
Rider's brass call
A hunting horn is a brass instrument traditionally used to signal during fox hunts and other mounted pursuits.
Its distinctive calls communicate commands to riders and hounds across distances: The hunting horn sounded the chase.
The curved, valveless design produces a limited range of notes, each with specific meaning in hunting protocol.
The instrument also appears in heraldry and as a decorative motif suggesting aristocratic country life.
