Original Narrative: The Roman Lituus, the antique straight instrument with the curved end , is drawn from a reproduction in bronze of the original, found in the tomb of a warrior discovered in 1827, at Cervetri , the Etruscan Caere, and preserved in the Museum of the Vatican. The lituus took its name from the augur's staff, which it resembled in shape ; it belonged to the cavalry of the Roman Empire. The curved Buccina is from another reproduction by Mr. Mahillon of an instrument preserved in the Museum at Naples, and found in excavating Pompeii . It was passed under the left arm of the executant and over his right shoulder, in a manner easily adopted by a foot-soldier. This Buccina is in unison with the horn in G, and has a bugle quality of tone. To sound the lituus and buccina is to awaken the echoes of the ancient past ; but , whether blown by Roman or Greek or Egyptian, we may be sure the harmonic division of a column ofair into vibrating sections knows no change, and was the same then as now. The Cornet with two valves shows one of the earliest adaptations of the now dominant pistons as introduced by C. Saxe of Brussels. One Trumpet, by Johann Wilhelm Haas of Nuremberg, is of obsolete make ; the other, also by Haas, is curved in half-circles to facilitate the production of stopped notes, and is curiously engraved . These five instruments belong to the Brussels Conservatoire Royal . Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
