"The English bass horn (corno di basso; corno inglesa di basso) is now thought to have been invented in 1799 by Louis Alexandre Frichot, a highly regarded, French serpentist who at the time was living in England. This upright serpent with its V-shape, flaring bell and swan-shaped bocal, six chimney fingerholes placed upon the bocal column has three-to-four keys and was typically made of metal (copper and brass). The instrument appeared in British and German military bands as well as within orchestral and harmoniemusik-chamber music ensembles. A 1799 advertisement describes the horn as producing a powerful sound with clearness of tone far superior to the serpent. The English bass horn is distinct from the basse-trompette, another type of upright serpent patented by Frichot in 1810."
