    Celts seem to have always been really good with music.
    I remember that one of the earliest recorded examples I know of Celtic music comes from Herodotus, the Greek historian.
    He went to ancient Spain out of curiosity and was greeted by soldiers marching to the sound of drums and a flute. Like a modern marching band.
    He found them "rich" and "advanced". For some reason people tend to picture them as Germanic barbarians, but Celts had really classy armor and metal works. They weren't barbaric.

      germanics werent barbaric either. a barbarian was a roman slang for all non-romans. ofcourse there probably were more or less warrior based tribes, but germanics in general were agricultural, cultural, smart/advanced people. the metalworks of that time period still is more advanced than modern metalurgy, we cannot perfectly recreate their trumpets because celts had faaaar more advanced bronze casting tecniques. besiced, the romans were more barbaric than anyone really, due to their political actions and how they expanded and such, and most roman technology (in all aspects) was coppied, armors/shields and long pila were coppied from galls, literature/architecture/art in general was coppied from greeks. romans knew how to copy and make it better.

      @@psalmas9011 Lol get real. Germanics and Celts literally lived in thatched-roof huts while Rome was building incredible feats of engineering that are still standing today. That's not to say that Germanics and Celts were inferior as people, but they CERTAINLY weren't even close to the level of civilizational advancement of the romans. Put it this way, Britain entered the bronze age 1000 years after Rome. One thousand years. Think about that for a second

    to the man who plays these horns, have you tried blowing from the corner of your mouth sideways into the mouthpiece? If you get just the right pressure from your diaphragm, you hit the note then its octave then the note again they viberate as they alternate, its awesome like a rasping growl

    I love the way it separates from its time and modern time . Honestly I would rather go for prehistoric Ireland music rather than all the music based around sex, money, power, and drugs. My family originated first from scotland then to Ireland . So I have them both in my blood and I am trying to reach back to my ancestral roots.

    I read they think that because the circular breathing technique used with the didgeridoo seems to work with the horn. They're just trying to figure it out for the benefit of posterity, I don't find it patronising myself.

    Interesante pasado historico... vikingos, celtas, araucanos con su trutruka, el tibet, y muchas otras culturas, poseen el cuerno o trompetas para la adoración, celebración o expresión artística.
