Here is the best-known ancient melody, played, for the first time since antiquity, both on a reproduction of an ancient instrument and in the original pitch (a = c. 480 Hz, so to say).
The finger span on the lower pipe (Pompeii Pipe 2) is absolutely cruel; but that’s evidently how they fingered that pipe in its lowest playing position.
How does one obtain a password for the ‘protected data’? I am an instrument maker, and am trying to find data on the Pompeii auloi/tibiae in order to make some exploratory reproductions. Any such data would be very helpful.
Thanks
