clarion

The clarion is an ancient brass instrument that is held in one hand and blown over like a flute. The bearer of this sign may have been a musician or ceremonial trumpeter and like the trumpet it could signify the call to battle, or the mustering call for a crusade. They are suitable heraldic bearings for someone who would bravely follow such a sound into battle. Musical instruments are heraldic symbols that, in general, signify festivity and rejoicing.
