Deriving its name from kurz Holz , this
instrument was the one where the reed-cap principle was applied to the
cylindrical double bore to give a soft low buzzy sound. Praetorius admitted
to being puzzled by the disparity in pitch between the kortholt he had seen
and the equivalent size of another instrument.
This was because the kortholt was a double-bore
instrument. Because of this doubling back of the pipe inside the instrument,
the fingering system is unusual. Similar to the krumhorn, it cannot overblow
to produce an upper register
