Construction

The bore of the terz heckelphone is very wide, so that a shawm-like sound is created. The instrument stands in high E♭ and reaches to a depth of D4. The production of the terz heckelphone was stopped suddenly and the instruments were rarely used. Richard Strauss, who was already enthusiastic about the piccolo heckelphone, used the terz heckelphone in the performance of the Second Brandenburg Concerto by Johann Sebastian Bach.
