Ulmer Maserholzpfeifen (Curled Wood Pipes from Ulm) can be devided in two basic designs: Ulmer Kloben (Wooden Block from Ulm) and the Ungarnform (Hungarian Form) or Ungarnkopf (Hungarian Head) where Ulm is a city in the south of Germany. [1]
These pipes were made since the end of the 17th century[2] or from 1733 on[3].
