Corno

/ ˈkɔrno /

noun

Monte Corno
a mountain in central Italy: the highest peak in the Apennines. Height: 2912 m (9554 ft)

The original corno basso was a brass instrument of narrow bore with the pistons set horizontally.

Here the old walls of Corno, another Etruscan town, may be seen to rise above the olive-trees and the holm-oaks.

His name given to the instrument has been mistranslated into Italian as Corno di Bassetto.
