Krumhorns, meaning bent horns in German, are a musical instrument of the woodwind family, most commonly used during the Renaissance period. In modern times, there has been a revival of interest in early music and they are being played again. Linda Mack, organist at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Dowagiac, said krumhorns are played with reeds, like an oboe or bassoon.
