HOLZTROMPETE (Wooden Trumpet) , an instrument some-what resembling the Alpenhorn
Wagner for representing the natural pipe of the peasant in Tristan
instrument is not unlike the cor anglais in rough outline, being a conical tube of approximately the same length, terminating in a small globular bell, but having neither holes nor keys; it is blown through a cup-shaped mouthpiece made of horn. The Holztrompete is inthe key of C; the scale is produced by overblowing, whereby the upper partials from the 2nd to the 6th are produced. A single piston placed at a third of the distance from the mouth-piece to the bell gives the notes D and F. Wagner inserted a note in the score concerning thecor anglais for which the part
was originally scored, and advised 3 a i s 6 the use of oboe or clarinet
Harmonic Series .reinforce the latter, the effect intended being that of a powerful natural instrument, unless a wooden instrument with a natural scale be specially made for the part
