Scope note
Use specifically for aerophones of generally conical bore and a wooden body made from or bound with birch or other bark, with fingerholes, a cup-shaped mouthpiece, and a bell of horn at the other end; examples are known to have been made in the early 1930s by Teppo Repo, a native of the Ingria region of Russia who brought the instrument to Finland. Used also very generally for a variety of wooden horns of Finland, usually made of or covered with birch bark, with or without fingerholes, some resembling trumpets or cornetts, others having a single reed.
