K'AL. 127 Handel and Sebastian Bach are, — the ohoe da caccia, which is identical with the corno iiiglese {English horn, cor anglais), a large hautboy still occasionally employed in the orchestra, and the oboe d'amore, or ohoe liingo, whch has fallen into oblivion. The {)itch of the ohoe d'amore was a minor third lower than that of tlie common hautboy, or ohoe piccolo ; and its sound,... owing to the narrowness of the l)ore at its further end, was rather weak, but ])articularly sweet. The precursor of the hautboy' was evidently the bom- bardino, or chalumeau. The bombardino, also called in Italian bombardo piccolo, was a small bombardo, an instrument of the hautboy kind, about three centuries ago much in use on the Continent. The Germans called the bombardo " Pommer, " which appears to be a corruption of the Italian name. The bom- bardo was made of various sizes, and with a greater or smaller number of finger-holes and keys.
