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.

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

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.
