	Piccolo heckelphone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.

	Heckelphone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first significant use of the heckelphone was in Strauss's 1905 opera Salome, and the instrument was subsequently employed in the same composer's Elektra, Eine Alpensinfonie, Josephslegende and Festliches Präludium.
		In the usage of English composers, the heckelphone is generally referred to by the name bass oboe, which, though descriptive, invites confusion with the somewhat different earlier instrument of the same or similar name (French hautbois baryton).
		For all its potential in adding weight to the lower registers of the woodwind section, the heckelphone remains a rarity on the orchestral scene, with only around 130 instances of the instrument ever having been produced, and is seldom carried on the regular strength of professional orchestras.

	Piccolo heckelphone
		The piccolo heckelphone is a very rare woodwind instrument invented around 1905 by the firm of Wilhelm Heckel GmbH in Wiesbaden-Biebrich, Germany.
		The instrument was initially developed in two keys: Eb (the 'terz heckelphone', pitched a minor third above the oboe) and F (pitched a perfect fourth above the oboe), although the former apparently never progressed beyond a single prototype.
		Richard Strauss, who scored for the heckelphone on a number of occasions, seems to have taken some interest in the instrument, even using it in a performance of Bach's fourth Brandenberg Concerto, where it played the high trumpet part in the last movement.

	Heckelphones
		The Heckelphone was first released in 1904 by Wilhelm Heckel GmbH (the Heckel bassoon manufacturers), which still manufactures it by special order.
		The heckelphone in fact has certain features in common with the basset oboe, in particular the very wide bore, and thus the idea that Wilhelm Heckel use the latter as the starting point for the design of his new instrument is not as far-fetched as it may seem.
		On account of its voluminous sound the heckelphone is particularly suited, it seems, to the orchestral palette of the late romantic orchestra; at least it was almost exclusively employed by composers with a penchant for this style.

		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).
		There is also a piccolo Heckelphone, which is pitched in F an octave above the English Horn (a fourth above the oboe), and a terz Heckelphone pitched one tone lower in Eb.
		The Heckelphone is broader and more robust than the bass oboe, which tends to sound thinner and more reedy by comparison.
