content: FROM CARD: "A BRASS TRUMPET WITH TWO SLIDING TUBES. THIS INSTRUMENT YIELDS A MOURNFUL SOUND AND IS FOR THE MOST PART USED IN FUNERAL PROCESSIONS. ITS SLIDING TUBES ARE SIMILAR TO THOSE OF A TROMBONE. ITS MOUTH-PIECE IS REMARKABLY BROAD AND THIN AND IS PERFECTLY FLAT, INSTEAD OF BEING CONCAVE AS IN EUROPEAN MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. SEE MAHILLON, VOL. 1, P. 181, NO. 140, "HWANG-REIH" PHOTO ON DRUM CARD 9."
