  2. The Sound of the Carnyx

    Context: The Carnyx was a Celtic instrument used for ~ 400 years between 200 BCE to 200 CE. A large S shaped wind instrument, with the head decorated and formed into a boars. According to the Greek historian Polybius (~206-126BC) accounts it was at least used during warfare:

    There were countless trumpeters and horn blowers and since the whole army was shouting its war cries at the same time there was such a confused sound that the noise seemed to come not only from the trumpeters and the soldiers but also from the countryside which was joining in the echo.

  5. This Abraham Cupeiro playing the carnyx (karnyx). It’s a Celtic instrument that was used to pump up soldiers for battle and/or intimidate opponents.

    It is an enigmatic blend of beauty and fear. Imagine seeing/hearing hundreds of these as an army approaches you for battle.
