This "Alto 'Duytse Schalmey'" is a wooden double-reed instrument made by Richard Haka, a prominent maker of wind instruments in the late 17th century. This particular instrument was crafted around 1680 and measures 854 millimeters in length with a bell diameter of 120 millimeters. The Schalmey, also known as the "Shawm", was a popular instrument during the Renaissance and Baroque periods, characterized by its piercing sound and conical bore.
