This instrument often features a "gizmo key" that makes playing a high C easier, and one of these made of solid gold was owned by Jean-Pierre Rampal. Mozart wrote a concerto for this instrument and harp. The smaller relative of this instrument has a famous solo in the trio of "Stars and Stripes Forever." It appears in the title of an opera in which Tamino must rescue Pamina from the Queen of the Night. That Mozart opera features a "magic" one.
