	Encyclopedia of Organ Stops
		The Heckelphone is related to the English Horn about as the Bass Clarinet is related to the Clarinet.
		It is difficult to realize that so marked a difference in character between the English Horn and the Heckelphone is due to so slight a difference in scale.
		One of the finest examples of this stop is to be found at Hill Auditorium, the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where it appears at both 16' and 8' pitches.

	Heckelphones (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Heckelphone is a woodwind instrument with the fingering of an oboe, pitched an octave lower (it is about 4 feet long), descending to the bottom of the bass clef (low A).
		The Heckelphone was first released in 1904 by Wilhelm Heckel GmbH (the Heckel bassoon manufacturers), which still manufactures it by special order.
		The Heckelphone is broader and more robust than the bass oboe, which tends to sound thinner and more reedy by comparison.

	Piccolo heckelphone at AllExperts
		The piccolo heckelphone is a very rare woodwind instrument invented in 1904 by the firm of Wilhelm Heckel GmbH in Wiesbaden-Biebrich (Germany).
		A variant of the heckelphone, the piccolo heckelphone was intended to redress a point of weakness in the romantic orchestra: namely, an insufficient number of truly powerful woodwind instruments with very high tessituras.
		Richard Strauss, who scored for the heckelphone on a number of occasions, seems to have taken some interest in the piccolo heckelphone, even using it in a performance of Bach's second Brandenburg Concerto, where it played the high trumpet part in the last movement.

	Flarp - The Oboe Blog For Happy Oboe Players » My sore neck…
		I’ve tried a Heckelphone before, but the few notes my friend let me honk out this past month was the only time I’ve tried a bass oboe.
		Bass oboe and Heckelphone are both “C” instruments - Bass is essentially an octave below the oboe (though most Basses only go down to”B” - not “Bb”) Like, oboe d’amore and English horn the bass oboe requires a ‘Bass oboe reed’ - bigger than the EH reed.
		Heckelphones are a strange hybrid between oboe and bassoon - fingerings similar to oboe, tradidtionally reeds like a small bassoon reed.

	Heckelphone 80 Years Old
		It stands to reason that a composer who decides to resort to four-part oboe writing is also apt to score just as opulently for the remaining wind section, thus scarcely allowing the timbre of the barytone oboe to make itself palpable at all.
		The fact that, after having been accorded an enthusiastic reception, the Heckelphone did enter the waters of oblivion may be attributed to the "hybrid" appellation applied by Altenburg.
		Following what was a common practice resorted to for quite some time by some larger stages in reinforcing Heckelphone parts by use of the bassoon or bass clarinet, the Heckel Company reports a recent increase in orders from both home and abroad.

		Twenty horns is not the difficult aspect of it - the symphony also requires a Heckelphone, a very rare double reed instrument resembling the oboe (except four times the size).
		The Heckelphone, however, has a very different bore from the oboe as it is much wider.
		This is due to the heckelphone reed being very similar to the bassoon reed whereas the baritone oboe's reed is like an oboe reed.

		The Heckelphone and Eb Sarrusophone are part of a rare instrument collection recently repaired at our Lubbock store location.
		The instrument isn’t even well known among musicians and fewer than 100 instruments exist worldwide.In fact, because each Heckelphone is custom made, no two fingering systems are exactly the same and therefore no two instruments produce identical sounds.
		The Eb Sarrusophone was invented in the mid 1800's by Gautrot to compete with the Saxophone, for use in military bands to bolster or replace oboes and bassoons.

		Eco-Pavan, a piece for piano and ghostly ensemble, built from the whispers of cimbalom, bass flute and other creatures usually only encountered in zoos.
		The “eco” in eco-pavan, by the way, relates not to PC environmentalism but to the Spanish word “echo” – a simple musical principle, here brilliantly realised for a gorgeously unconventional ensemble featuring heckelphone, bass flute and cimbalon.
