African instrument
These are notes for a CD of African music (Ubangi people in the Democratic Republic of Congo), here specifically a circumcision song.
De gaza (besnedenen) verlaten plechtig de brousse gekleed in mooie raffiapagnes en gevlochten hoofdtooien. Aangezien, volgens de traditie, de gaza niet mogen spreken in het publiek, zingen ze niet. Volgende instrumenten worden bespeeld : een trommel met genageld vel biya en een ensemble van hoorns gaga met **aangehecht paviljoen**.
Think this must refer to the "bell" (open end of the instrument), but is there another way to phrase this to avoid ambiguity (visions of bells dangling from a horn....)?

open end
I am tempted to use the term "bell-end" which could be appropriate in more than one way.
I think open end of the instrument will be better, but to be honest I think of "paviljoen" in the context of a building. Thus I presume the end shape is reminiscent of a building or tent.

Just to confirm that "bell end" is a proper term in this context.

Comment: "bell/bell-end aren't wrong, just ambiguous in the context, since bells are often used as musical instruments in Africa. Checked with the author who said "aangehechte kalebas: attached gourd. De term paviljoen is op zich ook reeds verwarrend en in het engels wordt deze term in de organologie vertaald door “bell” wat nog meer verwarring schept, vandaar mijn keuze voor het materiaal i.pl.v. de organologische term." So there you go.
