The bombard, a compact wind instrument, employs a double-reed construction and shares a similar range to the soprano shawm, albeit with a shorter length. Its pitch is in the key of A, making it slightly smaller than a soprano recorder in the key of C. Bombards continue to be employed in specific Celtic music genres. The instrument showcases a brass nickel-plated key and a sole made of imitation ivory, as illustrated in the accompanying image. Its distinct sonic quality is characterized by a piercing and high-pitched tone.
