3,000-year-old Egyptian trumpets in action - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-13092827
Made a monday morning a little less boring for me :)
Thanks for posting that 4Eyes. That recording is amazing both for the sound of these ancient instruments and for the skill of the trumpeter.
I remember reading a story in NatGeo about how devasting the raids to the Iraq Museum were in Bagdad...they lost one-of-a-kind ancient musical instruments. Most of them were not taken, but destroyed.
Interesting accent on the recording. Would you say he was English? :o
