Interesting two-minute clip on the BBC about a player of the ancient Greek flute. link

-- although this is NOT the first time a replica has been made or played; I have recordings of period ancient instruments made in the 1970s, and those were not the earliest either.

Very cool. Much deeper sound than I imagined it to make.

Great sound; something of the bagpipe about it.

Yes. So many translations use the word "flute," which gives a very different modern impression of what a Spartan army advancing must have sounded like.

Does sort of sound like Celtic pipes! Wonder if the Greeks had an equivalent to "Black Bear!?"
