Siegfried plays the horn, an instrument that signified masculine identity and power in the 19th century.
Any member of the family of musical instruments known as horns is formed of a tube having one narrow end into which the player blows and one broad end from which sound emanates. Horns are typically made of metal and are frequently bent in various ways.
Contrary to several other brass instruments, like the trumpet, the horn's bore gradually widens across the majority of its length, making it conical rather than cylindrical. The fact that the player retains a hand in the bell while playing is one of this instrument's distinctive features.
