From the article, it appears the slughorn never actually existed as an instrument and was purely Chatterton's invention, later adopted by Browning (and Terry Pratchett - "It must have been a bloody big slug"). In which case, should it really be listed in the category "Early musical instruments"? (And should it be added to List of fictional musical instruments?)

Mention is made in Ian Mortimer's The Time Traveler's Guide to Medieval England (p. 250) of a crumhorn, described as "A curved shawm with a mouthpiece over the reed, allowing it to be used by men on horseback (otherwise they would break the reed with every jolt)." 3johnl (talk) 10:24, 3 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
