More model informationThis is a 3D model of the Louvre aulos (inv. nr. E10962), which follows the measurements published by Stefan Hagel (Hagel, S. ‘Better understanding the Louvre Aulos’, Studien zur Musikarchäologie 9, Orient-Archäologie 33, 131–142).
I have reconstructed the reed on the basis of archaeological parallels combined with a mathematical model of this pipe, which gives a basic estimate of the scale it produces (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5515303).
A new interpretation of this scale and its cultural significance will be offered in forthcoming articles (see www.emousike.com/louvreaulos) and the book I’m currently working on (Plato’s musical ethos: ancient modes, instruments and rhythms).
