The Martinshorn (also known as the Martin's trumpet and Schalmei) is a German free reed aerophone created in 1880 by Max Bernhardt Martin, who was also the main manufacturer of the instruments.[1] The Martinshorn contains several reeds, each of which having its own horn.[2] The instrument was created in imitation of the saxhorn.[3] The horn can be confused with the shawm, as they are both referred to by the name "Schalmei"; the origins of the similar naming is unknown.
