Product Code Database
A Liebesfuss or Liebesfuß (; ; ) is a pear- or bulb-shaped element that narrows to a small opening in double reed instruments such as the oboe d'amore, cor anglais and heckelphone, as well as on some single reed instruments such as the clarinet d'amore. It serves as a damper that gives these musical instruments a characteristically soft timbre.. It is the eponymous characteristic of the oboe d'amore, which was developed in the Baroque music alongside other particularly sweet-sounding instruments such as the viola d'amore and the clarinet d'amore, which originated around 1740, died out in the mid-19th century, and was redeveloped from 2017 to 2020 on the basis of a basset clarinet in G.
A slightly larger and 90-degree angled love foot, which can be rotated both forwards and backwards, can be found on historical , as well as on a modern basset clarinet that adopts this detail from a historical clarinet, as Charles Neidich did.
