Editing Crumhorn (section)

==Terminology==
The name derives from the [[German language|German]] {{lang|de|Krumhorn}} (or {{lang|de|Krummhorn}} or {{lang|de|Krumporn}}) meaning ''bent horn''. This relates to the [[old English language|old English]] {{lang|und|crumpet}} meaning curve, surviving in modern [[English language|English]] in 'crumpled' and '[[crumpet]]' (a curved cake).  The similar-sounding French term {{lang|fr|[[cromorne]]}}, when used correctly, refers to a woodwind instrument of different design, though the term {{lang|fr|cromorne}} is often used in error synonymously with that of crumhorn.

It is uncertain if the Spanish wind instrument {{lang|es|orlo}} (attested in an inventory of 1559) designates the crumhorn, but it is known that crumhorns were used in Spain in the 16th century, and the identification seems likely.<ref name="Boydell">Boydell 2001</ref>

Three Italian terms for the instrument, apart from the equivalent {{lang|it|cromorno}},{{Citation needed|date=August 2019|reason=Boydell does not mention this term}} are {{lang|it|storto}}, {{lang|it|cornamuto torto}}, and {{lang|it|piva torta}}.<ref name="Boydell" />
