pommer

Where it comes from

From German Pommer, from Middle High German bumhart, from Italian bombarda.

noun pommers

An alto, tenor, or bass instrument of the shawm family. The treble pommer was the equivalent of our hautboy; the bass pommer corresponded to our bassoon. Midway between these lay the alto and tenor pommers, of which the former (the alto), was doubtless the forerunner of the cor anglais.
