In Bach's Brandenburg Concert 1 in the second Allegro but especially in the
first allegro from Brandenburg Concert 2 there is a very queerly sounding
instrument.  It is definitely some kind of a blowing instrument yet I
couldn't figure it out what.

I'm writing in hope there is someone in this list who knows what it is.
And as far as not finding the part I am writing about, one can't possibly
miss it since it appears all throughout part 1 from concert 2.

P.S. I have a version of all Brandenburg Concerts. My Concert 3 has only
two parts. Is this normal or did they just cut it off.
