From Wikipedia

The Kuhlohorn (also Kuhlo-Flügelhorn) is a small flugelhorn in B♭. This is a specially designed brass wind-instrument played using a deep bowled mouth piece. Chief characteristics are its oval design and integrated, usually conical tubing. Kuhlohorns commonly are featuring a conical tuning slide, at the second curved pipe section after the rotary valves.

Johannes Kuhlo found the unique sound ideal for a cappella brass choir (Posaunenchor).
