Lupophon

Lupophon

The Lupophon [http://www.guntramwolf.de/englisch/start_englisch.html] is a woodwind instrument invented and manufactured by Guntram Wolf of Kronach, Germany. It is in effect a modified heckelphone, with a slightly smaller bore and range down to low F. The lower portion of the instrument is folded back on itself in order to manage the considerable length of the tube, somewhat in the manner of a bass clarinet. The addition of the 4 lowest semitones allows it to cover the full intended range of the heckelphone part of Richard Strauss' "Eine Alpensinfonie", which descends beyond that instrument's lowest note.
