Corno di Camoscio Italian

Description:

A stop which is similar in construction and tone to the Gemshorn. How it differs from the Gemshorn (if at all) is not known. It has been made at 16', 8', 4', and 2' pitch. The word camoscio means �chamois�; hence the name is an Italian rendering of Gemshorn or Cor de Chamois.
