If some nations are taking thousands of plastic trumpets to the world cup, the English should pack the stadiums with Carnyx.

It seems to me that Stravinsky unknowingly recreated the sound of this thing with "Rite of Spring"...

[CuffDeep]

Thousands of people have died whilst hearing this.

How is he able to produce such an array of sounds...? I assume this is without accompaniment?

@flobrin11 It's a bit dodgy, that. First, nobody knows for sure who created the Carnyx -- the Celts didn't keep written records. Second, it's unclear to me to what extent the French are Gauls. Many Gaulic tribes were exterminated to the last man, woman and child by Caesar's armies, according to Julius Caesar's own history. The Gauls would have been similar to the Bretons, who are often looked down on by the French.

@2206411411 why the english? Theyre more nordic than celtic

[Caradepato2]

@2206411411 More like the welsh. English are germanic.

@segano1 Most Celtic peoples used such devises in battle, the bagpipes would be the Caledonian successor

[GoldenAxeVox666]

@maggott1128 Not just the Picts, Celts from Mainland Europe(Gaul) were earlier ancestors of the Picts, all used such methods and technique in battle.

[MrThembones]

@vegetablescankill As did most of us.

[raonipaes]

This would incite fear to anyone facing thousands of angry blue painted warriors, wielding barbaric swords and hammers.

@EtoileMatutine merci pour cette intrusion. je crois que c'est devenu à la mode, chez eux, de le revendiquer. alors que dans le fond, ils constituent déjà un gros mélange de saxons et de danois.. qui ont justement chassé les locaux de souche celtique.
