[edit]

From the article, it appears the slughorn never actually existed as an instrument and was purely Chatterton's invention, later adopted by Browning (and Terry Pratchett - "It must have been a bloody big slug"). In which case, should it really be listed in the category "Early musical instruments"? (And should it be added to List of fictional musical instruments?)

Slughorn

[edit]

Mention is made in Ian Mortimer's The Time Traveler's Guide to Medieval England (p. 250) of a crumhorn, described as "A curved shawm with a mouthpiece over the reed, allowing it to be used by men on horseback (otherwise they would break the reed with every jolt)." 3johnl (talk) 10:24, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
