The is a very long- 49" (124cm) - one piece Wooden Trumpet from the Zande Area
of the Congo. It has a primitive carved head, leading to a 3" opening at the
end of the horn.This is an original, not a reproduction . I believe it is from
the 19th century. It is pretty heavy. There is copper wire wrapped around its
neck. I believe this is original to the trumpet, but it appears that at some
point in time there may have been a repair, but I cannot be sure. It seems to
be totally secure now. I have had it a very long time as a wall decoration. It
is very cool - and - if you have a lot of breath, you can still get deep sounds
out of it! This trumpet will be wrapped and shipped professionally.
