Pipe Organ Stop
There is also a common organ stop called "cromorne". It is a reed stop usually at 8' pitch. Tonally it has a buzzing sound otherwise similar to an oboe, although usually more powerful than an oboe stop, and less powerful than cornet or trumpet stops.
It has been suggested that the stop, which can sound like an unrefined clarinet or bagpipe, was originally intended to resemble the sound of the actual French cromorne. There are similar variant organ stops with names such as Krumm Horn, Crumm Horn, Cromorna and so forth depending on native language in the country of organ manufacture.
An organ stop with any one of these names typically will be of similar physical pipe design. There is less distinction or difference between the design of an organ 'Cromorne' and an organ 'Crumm Horn' which may bear some of the responsibility for the confusion of the actual instruments which the stops are emulating.
