Moeck Historical Woodwinds (http://www.lazarsearlymusic.com/Moeck-Historical-Woodwinds/moeck_historical_woodwinds.htm)

Reproductions of historical woodwinds.

Moeck discontinued making these horns a little while back, but the pictures on this website are still there. Unfortunately the links to the sound clips and fingering charts are down -- and Moeck didn't get listed by archive.org.
