- Synopsis
- On this page are two images of musical instruments: an ancient Greek aulos and a lyre. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The aulos is similar to two oboes fixed together at their mouthpieces. The two double reeds of the instrument are in the top centre of the page. Down and left from this are the barrels of the two pipes. The one on the left has four finger holes and the one on the right seven. The bells of the instrument are in the bottom left corner of the page. The lyre is on the right of the page. It is a stringed instrument similar to a harp. This one is made from the shell of a tortoise and two horn-shaped pieces of wood. At the top right, you can find the tips of the two horns. They curve out and down to the tortoise shell at the bottom of the page, which acts as a resonator that makes the sound louder. The strings are fixed to the end of the shell at the bottom of the page. They go up the page over the bridge in the centre of the shell to where they are fixed to the crosspiece between the twohorns. The instrument is played by plucking its strings.
