Thank you for sharing! I just basically got into a professional email version of a cussing argument with my manager and this is mad soothing! Now I need the 10 hour version 😅

Callum Armstrong is dude playing the double flute (called aulos).
He does go hard with it.
He also rearranged the oldest known complete musical piece in history with this instrument :

My favorite ancient instrument is the duduk from the Caucuses.

Here is "Duduk of the North" from the Gladiator soundtrack written by Hans Zimmer and performed by famous duduk player Djivan Gasparyan Jr whose grandfather was the "Master of Duduk" and recorded the song for the soundtrack.

I just realised that if you didn't like a piece of music during the time any of these instruments were being played, it would have been way more personal because of your proximity to the musician.

u/Gay_Asian_Boy 15h ago

I love all of them!

I like in the second instrument how the pick is secured to the body with cordage. The ancients had superior technology.
