Double Aulos

A double aulos was an ancient Greek musical instrument composed of two pipes played simultaneously, similar to modern wind instruments. It typically consisted of two reed pipes connected to a common mouthpiece, allowing the player to produce a richer, more complex sound by blowing into both pipes at once. The double aulos was often used in religious rituals, festivals, and theatrical performances, providing powerful and expressive music that could convey emotion and drama. Its design and playing technique required skill, and it played a significant role in Greek musical culture.
