The sound of the Carnyx

[@samuelmeric-lobrador4580]

If you are interested in having a carnyx like that, I built them on a regular basis. You can send me an email at [e-mail] if you want to know more. **EDIT** Why don't I mention the price in the comment section? : - There isn't a single fixed price as it varies based on individual preferences and requirements. There are numerous customization options and details to discuss, making it impractical to cover them all here. That's why I've created an information sheet that I can share via email. - I retain your email for specific reasons, such as contacting you in case of order cancellations, which could potentially reduce the waiting time for your carnyx. I might also have immediate availability or need to communicate changes in pricing due to factors like fluctuations in metal suppliers. - I prefer engaging with serious individuals. If you're not willing to take the simple step of sending me an email, I don't consider you genuinely interested.

[@K17U]

People always talk about how the Carnyx was a battle horn and how terrifying it would've been to hear as a roman legionary. I think the much more fascinating way to think about them is that they are cultural objects. Some ancient copper smith went and did a full recreation of a boar's head in metal, and that was an object that existed in the world from that point on. That can't have just been a signal horn for military purposes. It's an instrument. Imagine a class of young druids practicing on their carnices for some great festival. When the festival comes, they will form a procession, with each carnyx' head being carried on the shoulder of the person in front. A low hum emanates from them, stirring the guts of every festival goer. It is summer.

[@mlgsamantha5863]

I mean hey, modern Celts have their bagpipes, which are also known for being used in war, but that's certainly not all the Scots use them for.

[@davidbakke9293]

I think some of the Romans would've been freaked out, but most of the high ranking officers would've seen creatures like elephants, lions, and war dogs. They could probably prepare their infantry for the psychological/auditorial tactics the Celts used, which would've made them stronger. Other occasions make more sense, however I doubt they just had them "lying around", because it would take nearly up until the modern era for any large, organized group of people to give the common-person access to really any instruments.

The acoustics of the cave really improve the resonance of this recording, but the instrument is extraordinary even without. Can you imagine being a Roman legionary waiting in your army’s ranks, prior to battle, on a misty cold dawn, waiting for the barbarian Celts to come running over the skyline, accompanied by their horrible, Druidical, sorcerers ! And then you hear the sound of dozens of these Approaching? A serious test to discipline. Probably would have given the cavalry a few rough moments too.

[@avedic]

On some other video someone made a comment I can't stop considering.... They were just pointing out how TERRIFYING it must have been...to be some naive 19 year old Roman soldier, only aware of your own culture, thousands of miles from home, deep in the woods, at night, no clue where your enemy is.....and then you hear THIS, but not one....a massive chorus of them....seemingly coming from all directions.

[@thebrowneyesofmandalore]

It’s fascinating how large the range and capabilities of this horn is. It’s able to capture brass horn sounds while managing to compete right along side a didgeridoo with those deep sounds. This is a Celtic war horn correct?

[@solomon5ty]

yes, it was used around the time the romans came to britain, theres many reports of roman soldiers being pretty freaked out by the very strange tall horns the british and irish used

[@felixdittrich5469]

Well it is a pretty long brass wind instrument, so you know it got the low pedal range and then pretty much no limit for high notes as ot just depends on the players skills. Just like any other brass instrument. Or instrument without a reed mouthpiece. Id compare this one to a tuba or a contrabasstrombone.

[@davecrupel2817]

I love how at the start, it sang with the beauty of an angel. But then the notes got deeper...and deeper...and deeper... And it started sounding like a straight up war horn. That puppy started sounding absolutely *Filthy.* and i am all for it! Edit: oh my god he made it BARK!!!! This dude, and this instrument, are both insane. And incredible. ❤

[@Dracorientalis]

The Carnyx is sometimes seen as a war horn but it wasn't really a war horn. The Celtic Gaels use play mind games with the Romans the most famous of which was going to battle naked. Seeing the Roman covered in armor and big shields and tight formations the Gaels looked at the Romans as cowards so they would strip of completely in front of the Romans before engaging. Another psychological tactic was involving this instrument, the carnyx. Was an instrument used for ceremonial hunts... but they would also then, blow the carnyx for the Romans to hear, to let them know they were little more than prey, and were being hunted! These mind games in conjunction with their no less terrifying combat tactics was very successful!

[@lolaloliepop]

Interesting how they were masters of sound and...sound pushcology i guess you'd call it. I remember a long time ago visiting the Chislehurst caves in England and the oldest portion made by the Celts (also largest, they think it might go out all the way to dover iirc) was essentially a pitch black sensory deprivation hell maze only navigable by sound (or how to truly psychologically destroy any intruders - it's LOUD down there). Really makes me wish we knew more about them generally and what kind of technology they could've evolved if they weren't killed ir enslaved and then ousted to the corner. I imagine it would be very cool auditory based inventions.

[@mareksicinski3726]

the nakedness doesn't seem like a mind game, more so like a tradition related to the way of fighting no?

[@thepoweroftacos5311]

Mind games until the fight started and the romans killed them at a 20-1 ratio

[@Dracorientalis]

@@thepoweroftacos5311 Not true at all. The Celts in Europe yes but the Gaels up ended the Romans. The Romans became terrified of the Gaels They abandoned any notion of conquering Ireland the abandoned the fort they were building in Scotland the retreated back to the south east of England and the Gaels followed them. Romans recorded themselves, that they would be on full alert at the site of a curly haired woman with black or red hair for fear that a group of gaels were on their way to attack! They built the London wall to keep the Gaels out (and the other celts that had banded together with them after the retreat of course). When you say 'mind games are successfull' it not said because it didn't work... lmao XD They were successful because they were fucking successful! Of course the Anglo-Saxons invaded from east and finished was left of the Romans in Britain and around the same time the surviving "barbarian" tribes in Europe took the opportunity of a crumbling and divided Senate in Roman and attacked causing the downfall of the empire. But basically The Roman expansion and conquest of northern Europe came to a complete halt when the met the Gaels

I'm impressed you managed to produce quite nice melody with that, must have taken a long time to master the intonation with that. Well done!

Imagine hearing it on a battlefield! Especially the lower notes. I can well imagine the Romans or some other invading force being terrified that some strange spirit was making the sound

If I were to draw the one person who would master this thing - it would be him. This is wildly beautiful. Brilliant!

[@sovietball2161]

It's actually a lot easier than it looks, its really similar to the trombone or tuba actually

[@genghis_connie]

@@sovietball2161 it’s mesmerizing. It looks like there’s no stand - I think I would lose a few teeth! How hard is that?
