** recently the sound of the reeds got much better, please see my latest videos and , there is constant progress, keep in mind that this instrument is just being revived and we are working hard on finding out about reeds, playing techniques and repertoire... amazing just to think where we might be in 10 years...** Aulos or auloi αυλός double pipes from antique greece, an improvisation on a reconstruction of the Louvre Aulos found in Egypt, played by Max Brumberg in south France. I am playing on reeds and Aulos I made myself, it took me one year intense research and many reeds and master Robin Howell helped me to get them going, there is still a lot to investigate. Do you feel the sound is triggering something in you? The Aulos are from the Greek antique and were used in rituals, theatre, therapy and amusement. All the players I know and many listeners have described interesting experiences provoked by playing the instrument. The two pipes are tuned in a fourth to each other. The instrument itself is a reproduction of an instrument found in Egypt, exactly the same hole setting it must have sounded l similar when people played it. Though the players were far more experienced playing in a tradition of an instrument being already played for about 2000ys in those days. Nowadays we are rediscovering this ancient instrument and its sounds and for me it is an amazing thing to be part of the people rediscovering the Aulos..... The breathing technique used is the very same like on the didgeridoo, circular breathing. Info about my instruments interesting site to get deeper into the Aulos: Robin Howell also see:
