HeckelphoneThe heckelphone is a musical instrument invented by Wilhelm Heckel and introduced in the late 19th century. It is a double-reed instrument similar to a oboe, but with a wider bore and a lower range. Richard Strauss's 1905 opera Salome calls for a heckelphone, as does Gustav Holst's famous orchestral suite The Planets (1916). See also
