This brass "Invention horn crook" by Carl Gottlob Schüster dates from between 1850 and 1950 and measures 29.0 cm in diameter and 3.9 cm in depth. This piece is an example of a horn crook, a component used in a valved horn to change the pitch of the instrument. Horn crooks are often made of brass, and can be either straight or curved, allowing musicians to adjust the length of the tubing and therefore the pitch of the instrument. This particular crook, made of brass, features a circular ring with a "H" shaped section attached to it, showcasing the ingenuity of musical instrument design.
