English horn (English spelling)
The cor anglais is a transposing instrument in the key of F, a fifth lower than the oboe. It is also called the cor anglais. The name is said to derive from its resemblance to the hunting horn used in England in the mid-18th century, but the exact etymology is unknown, with some suggesting that the French word anglais is a corrupted version of the words anglais (curved) or angulier (angular). It is a conical double-reed instrument, like the oboe, 1.043 meters long, with a bulbous bell to give the sound depth.

Japanese:
オーボエより5度低いヘ調の移調楽器。コーラングレcor anglaisともいう。名称はいずれも,18世紀中ごろにイギリスで用いられていた狩猟用のホルンに形が似ているからといわれるが,フランス語のanglaisはanglé(曲がった)あるいはangulaire(角度のある)がなまったものという説もあって,正確な語源はわかっていない。オーボエと同じダブル・リードの円錐管で,1.043mの長さを持ち,音に含みを持たせるために球根形のベルを持っている。
