cornamuse

The cornamuse is a double reed instrument dating from the Renaissance period.

In French-speaking Switzerland it is known as "cornamusa", "cornamuse" or "musette".

In common with the crumhorn and cornamuse, it is a wooden double-reed instrument with the reed enclosed in a windcap.

It is similar in many ways to the crumhorn and rauschpfeife, in having a windcap over the reed; unlike those instruments, the bell of the cornamuse is closed, resulting in a much quieter sound.

The angels, in clockwise order, hold a drum, a trumpet, a psaltery, torches (the three ones who are pushing the cloud), a drum (at the wais), a triangle of trapezoidal shape, and a cornamuse in colors which hint at the Carafa's crest.
