Very melodic yet mournful.

Brilliant find!
That's an amazing find.
The Royal Museum of Scotland here in Edinburgh had an exhibition about the Celts.
They had a reconstruction of a carnyx together with some bits of historical ones. They had a video presentation about the instrument and I was fascinated by the range of notes the person playing it could produce.
They also had a reconstruction of the chariot found in a local burial site.
For me, the most interesting original artefact was undoubtedly the Gundestrup Cauldron which had been loaned to the museum for the exhibition.
Beautifully dark and foreboding - really liked it!

I was lucky enough to see that exhibition. Never knew there was so much to carnyx.
I'm amazed. I'd always expected a raucous blare like a Steerhorn, not a beautiful and responsive range like that. I suppose he is playing with a modern mouthpiece?
That IS an interesting find.
I was expecting a 'mini foghorn' BLAAART !, or something more akin to a scream.

This is from the Edinburgh exhibition.
A seven foot horn with wiggly ears, jingling bells, and a flapping red tongue - what's not to like! If we only had a 10mm model - I would add it to my newly acquired 19th century band in place of the missing jingling johnnie. :)
Baccus have some horse figures with it - 6mm o'course

I thought I'd made one of those for Will.
(It didn't have flapping ears, though.)

Not that I remember...
A lemming, a tribble, and an as yet unfinished Meerkat.

If a carynx you should seek
I know a place where you can peek
you must be brave, must have the b***s
to go and search amongst the Gauls.

I'm absolutely
positive I've made a figure with a carynx/karnynx.... Not something I'd forget quickly.....Which range ?.....Don't ask me X_X
The meerkat is still collecting dust in the drying tin, Will. :P ;)
Cheers - Phil
Well, it was for Leon, and it's in the Gallic range!

THAT'S the kiddy.
Thank you, Will. :-bd
As I've said before....I make SO many of the wee men....They become almost a blur.
Cheers - Phil :)
So my clue was too foxy for you was it Techno?

Yeah. I can see I hid it a bit too deeply in the verse.

Derrrrrr, #-o #-o #-o #-o #-o
That didn't sink in, at all ! :-[ :-[ :-[
Cheers - Phil.
I think that the Edinburgh exhibition was the same exhibition I saw at the British Museum about this time last year. I remember being surprized by the size of the carnyx heads (a bit bigger than I expected) and you could play a recording to hear how they sounded; as others have said it was more melodic that you might expect from a war horn.
