The shawm is a double-reed woodwind instrument that produces a loud, piercing sound, making it suitable for outdoor performances. It has a conical bore and typically features a flared bell, which enhances its volume and projection. Players use a double reed, similar to that of an Oboe, to create sound by vibrating the reeds against each other. The shawm was commonly used in medieval and Renaissance music, often in ensembles and for ceremonial purposes.
