The cowhorn is one of the oldest Nordic wind instruments with findings dating as far back as the 6th century in Sweden. It has been an important instrument in Swedish transhumance tradition ("fäbodkultur"), where dairy maids used the horn for various purposes. Women were often the foremost practitioners of horn blowing since they were responsible for the livestock in the summer pastures.
