What is "kuhlohorn"

The Kuhlohorn (also Kuhlo-Flügelhorn) is a thin Flügelhorn ( musical instrument), traditionally in B flat. This is a specially designed brass wind-instrument played using a deep bowled mouth piece. Chief characteristics are its oval design and integrated, usually conical tubing.

Johannes Kuhlo found the unique sound ideal for a cappella brass choirs ( Posaunenchöre). He therefore preferred and recommended these special instruments (horns, tubas) instead of traditional trumpets. The first of these instruments were developed in collaboration with the Bielefelder instruments maker, Ernst David.
