Atle Lien Jenssen, a folk musician from Norway, presented a paper on tungehorn which is a reed instrument in 2009. He died in 2011. I'm wondering if he ever published and if anyone could get hold of his research?

"Atle Lien Jenssen took the floor. He is in the process of a masters project relating to tungehorn. Tungehorn is an instrument made from the horn of (usually) a goat. It has three to seven finger holes and a reed fixed to the outside of the mouthpiece; the reed can be made of any number of materials from the traditional juniper to metal or even a yogurt lid! Atle's project is especially interesting because his research seems to indicate that this is an instrument that originated in Norway and spread outward, unlike most other instruments in Norway. Possible implications include that tungehorn is an ancestor of the modern clarinet."

And maybe bagpipes.

I found A. L. Jenssen's research.

Title: Tungehornet i Norge : historie, utbredelse, repertoar, bruk og praktisk instrumentmaking / Atle Lien Jenssen
Author: Jenssen, Atle Lien 1956-2011
Year : 2010
Printed: Rauland : [A.L. Jenssen]
Pages: 114, 47 s. : ill. ; 1 plate (CD) i lomme

I think I'll have to contact the Telemark Folk Culture Institute and see if I can get a copy some how.
