The '''heckelphone''' ({{lang-de|Heckelphon}}) is a musical instrument invented by [[Wilhelm Heckel]] and his sons. The idea to create the instrument was initiated by [[Richard Wagner]], who suggested its concept at the occasion of a visit of Wilhelm Heckel in 1879.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.heckel.de/en/prod-heckelphon.htm |title=Heckelphon |access-date=2014-12-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141203120532/http://www.heckel.de/en/prod-heckelphon.htm |archive-date=2014-12-03 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Introduced in 1904, it is similar to the [[oboe]] but, like the bass oboe, pitched an [[octave]] lower, the heckelphone has a significantly larger bore.

==General characteristics==
The heckelphone is a [[double reed]] instrument of the [[oboe]] family, but with a wider bore and hence a heavier and more penetrating tone. It is pitched an octave below the oboe and furnished with an additional semitone taking its range down to A.<ref>Jürgen Meyer [https://books.google.com/books?id=Mlkut4PAAiUC&dq=Heckelphone&pg=PA73 ''Acoustics and the Performance of Music: Manual for Acousticians, Audio Engineers, Musicians, Architects and Musical Instrument Makers (Modern Acoustics and Signal Processing)''] pg. 73 Springer Publishing (2009) {{ISBN|0-387-09516-0}}</ref> It was intended to provide a broad oboe-like sound in the middle register of the large orchestrations of the turn of the twentieth century.{{Citation needed|date=June 2012}} In the orchestral repertoire it is generally used as the bass of an oboe section incorporating the oboe and the [[cor anglais|cor anglais (English horn)]], filling the gap between the [[oboe]]s and [[bassoon]]s.{{Citation needed|date=June 2012}}

The heckelphone is approximately {{cvt|1.3|m|0}} in length and is quite heavy{{Clarify|date=January 2022|reason=Ambiguous. Different people may consider different weights to be heavy. How much does it typically weigh?}}: it rests on the floor, supported by a short metal peg attached to the underside of its bulbous bell ("[[Liebesfuss]]"). An alternate second bell, called a "muting" bell, is also available, which serves to muffle the instrument for playing in a small ensemble. This arrangement is unique among double-reed instruments. It is played with a double reed that closely resembles a bassoon reed or large cor anglais reed.{{Citation needed|date=June 2012}}

Smaller piccolo- and terz-heckelphones were developed, pitched respectively in (high) F and E{{Music|flat}}, but few were made, and they were less successful than the baritone-range instrument.<ref>Sibyl Marcuse, ''Musical Instruments: A Comprehensive Dictionary'', corrected edition (The Norton Library N758) (New York: W. W. Norton, 1975): 239–40.</ref>

==Musical uses==
The first use of the heckelphone was in [[Richard Strauss]]'s 1905 [[opera]] ''[[Salome (opera)|Salome]]''.{{Citation needed|date=June 2012}} The instrument was subsequently employed in the same composer's ''[[Elektra (opera)|Elektra]]'', as well as ''[[An Alpine Symphony]]'' (though this part frequently calls for notes that are below the range of the heckelphone),{{Citation needed|date=June 2012}} ''[[Josephslegende]]'' and ''Festliches Präludium''. It was adopted as part of the large orchestral palette of such works as [[Edgard Varèse]]'s ''[[Amériques]]'' (1918–1921) and ''[[Arcana (Varèse)|Arcana]]'' (1925–1927), [[George Gershwin]]{{'s}} [[Rhapsody in Blue#Orchestration|''Rhapsody in Blue'']] (1924) and [[Carlos Chávez]]'s ''[[Sinfonía de Antígona]]'' (1933). Aaron Copland's ''Short Symphony'' (Symphony No. 2, 1931–33) calls for a player to double on cor anglais and heckelphone, but a cor anglais may be used for the entire part if a heckelphone is unavailable.

The heckelphone was also used by [[Gordon Jacob]] in his 'Variations on Annie Laurie' which was performed in the first Hoffnung Music Festival Concert at the [[Royal Festival Hall]], [[London]], UK in 1956. See Annetta Hoffnung's biography of Gerard Hoffnung and the sleeve notes to the complete Decca recording of the concert in question.{{citation needed|date=June 2012}}

The heckelphone is often confused with [[F. Lorée]]'s redesigned hautbois baryton which was introduced in 1889, the term "[[bass oboe]]" being widely used to describe both instruments. Among English composers of the early-20th century there was some vogue for the use of a "bass oboe", for example in [[Gustav Holst]]'s orchestral suite ''[[The Planets]]'' (1916), as well as in several works of [[Frederick Delius]] (''A Mass of Life'', 1904–1905; ''Dance Rhapsody No. 1'', 1908), [[Arnold Bax]]'s ''Symphony No. 1'' (1921), and [[Havergal Brian]]'s ''[[Symphony No. 1 (Brian)|Gothic Symphony]]'' (1919-1927) and ''Symphony No. 4 (Das Siegeslied)''. However, it is not in all cases clear which of the two instruments is intended—indeed, it is possible that sometimes the composers themselves were unclear as to the distinction. Strauss, however, mentions both instruments in his 1904 revision of [[Hector Berlioz]]'s ''[[Treatise on Instrumentation|Grand Traité d'instrumentation et d'orchestration modernes]]'', and (like Varèse) specifies the instrument by name in his orchestral scores, so preventing any ambiguity.

The heckelphone has also been employed in [[chamber music]], one of the most notable instances being [[Paul Hindemith|Hindemith]]'s ''Trio'' for Heckelphone, Viola, and Piano, Op. 47 (1928). [[Graham Waterhouse]] wrote ''[[Four Epigraphs after Escher]]'', Op. 35 (1993) for the same instrumentation.

The heckelphone is also featured in the orchestral music of Finnish composer [[Kalevi Aho]]. It is heard in his operas ''[[Insect Life]]'' (1985–87), ''[[The Book of Secrets (Opera)|The Book of Secrets]]'' (1998), and ''[[Before We Are All Drowned]]'' (1995/99), in the Symphonies no. 6 (1979–80), 11 (1997–98), 13 (2003), 15 (2009–10), 17 (2017), and in his Piano Concerto no. 1 (1988–89), Contrabassoon Concerto (2004–05) and Oboe Concerto (2007). American composer [[William P. Perry]] used the heckelphone as part of a double reed quartet in his score for the film ''The Mysterious Stranger''.
There is a part for heckelphone in the concert band piece ''Two Sketches From The Orient '' by composer Cecil Burleigh, Op. 55 arranged by N. Clifford Page, published by Oliver Ditson Company 1926 and 1928.

==Modern use==
{{Globalize|date=June 2012}}<!--Is the Heckelphone actually known exclusively in the United States of America?-->
For all its potential in adding weight to the lower registers of the [[woodwind]] section, the heckelphone remains a rarity on the orchestral scene—only about 150 heckelphones have been produced, of which around 100 are believed to be extant—and is seldom carried on the regular roster of professional orchestras. Competent players are thus rare. The most prominent American heckelphone players now are Mark Perchanok and Andrew Shreeves, both of New York City. Shreeves plays regularly with the [[Metropolitan Opera]] while Perchanok has performed many new and older compositions for the instrument and has recorded with the [[Paul Winter Consort]]. Other notable American players include Robert Howe of [[Massachusetts]], most known for recital work, and [[Arthur Grossman]] of [[Seattle, Washington]].

The first annual meeting of the North American Heckelphone Society took place on August 6, 2001, at the [[Riverside Church]] in [[New York City]], with six heckelphonists in attendance—possibly the first occasion upon which six such instruments had been assembled under one roof. Later meetings have included as many as 14 instruments. The group met annually in New York through 2006.

The centennial of the heckelphone in 2004–5 led to the publication of a number of articles on the instrument in organological journals. Among these were two in the German-language ''Rohrblatt'' by the Cologne player Georg Otto Klapproth; a comprehensive review article by Robert Howe and Peter Hurd, "The Heckelphone at 100", in the 2004 ''Journal of the American Musical Instrument Society''; and a two-part article by Michael Finkelman in the 2005 issues of ''The Double Reed''.

A recent development is the [[Lupophon]] (Lupophone), essentially an extended Heckelphone able to play lower notes such as those called for in the Alpine Symphony.
