The trunk is a hunting instrument. During Court hunting, the hunting action is accompanied by horn sounds (fanfares) which allow the huntsmen to communicate with each other and with their dogs.
The hunting horn was adopted by French hunting under the reign of Louis XV and the influence of his hunting master the Marquis de Dampierre2. Since then, the hunting horn has been inseparable from hunting.
It owes its meaning and its development to him.
The practice of the horn is maintained by all huntsmen, for whom it is the instrument of communication while hunting, but also by musical artists who know how to bring it to perfection.
