In the music from Dun Morogh, what is the horn-like instrument that starts playing at the 5:25 mark of this video:

I've also heard this instrument played like this in the early stages of God of War I and I've always wondered what it is.

Thanks

Q u o t e:
You can't pitch shift notes on the Panpipes like the music does...
It's definitely some sort of keyed instrument... be it Bassoon or Oboe... or synthesizer...

EDIt - The more I listen, the more I think it's a bass flute

EDIT again... bass flute... sounds almost right

I don't know off-hand, but I'd go with bass flute as well.
