Clarín Real Spanish|
Grove describes this as a type of Clarín: “ ‘Real’ Trumpets (Clarines, Trompetas) were usually vertical (not horizontal), the name indicating ‘real’ in the sense of ‘full-length’ resonators; but by c1750 ‘trompeta real’ often meant ‘royal trumpet’.” Williams says: “ ‘Real’ does not always imply horizontal, early appearances of the term implied a ‘real trumpet’, i.e. one with longer resonators than regals.” Audsley mentions it but does not distinguish it from other types of Clarins.See also Trompeta Real, Tromba Real.
