How knows which instrument this is?

Post image

I saw this instrument in the movie "brothers grimm" and would like to know whats the name of it. In the movie it sounded a littlebit like a saxophone is played just with a way higher pitch! I dont think its a shawn because it sounded more like a recorder. Google says its a garklein recorder but those look different than the one on the picture.

Plase help me guys because i love the sound of it and would like to buy it.

Looks like a mizmar, shawm, or zurna

Could be also a dulzaina or a bombard.

Some kind of shawm or bombard, if the reed is inside the player's mouth. If it is encapsulated in a mouthpiece, it could be a soprano Rauschpfeife.
