What instrument comes from the English word of sound?
The word "horn" originates from the Old English word "horn" meaning "sound, tone." The horn instrument produces sound by vibrating air inside the instrument and is commonly used in orchestras and jazz ensembles.
Is an English horn really a horn?
No, the English horn (in F) is the tenor oboe. The alto oboe is the oboe d'amore which is in A. Disagree: the English Horn is an ALTO-pitched instrument in 3-foot F. The oboe (in 2-foot C) is a SOPRANO instrument. The oboe d'amore is pitched between soprano and alto, so is called MEZZOSOPRANO in pitch. A 4-foot oboe is at TENOR pitch, but is usually misnamed the baritone or bass oboe. For guidance, simply check the saxophone family at the same (or very close) lengths and pitches. The 1 1/2 foot instrument is SOPRANINO, the 2-foot instrument is SOPRANO, the 3-foot ALTO, and the 4-foot TENOR. Then BARITONE for 6-foot pitch and BASS for 8-foot pitch. We can the add the 12-foot pitch and call it SUBBASS, then 16-foot pitch is CONTRABASS (there is no saxophone at the 16-foot pitch, but there is a 16-foot CONTRABASS tubax [look it up]). The sarrusophone family are also conical double reed woodwinds, made of brass with a wide bore. They are named exactly as are the saxophone family; logically, from SOPRANINO 1.5-foot to CONTRABASS 16-foot..
