Found in | New Grove dict. of mus. WWW site, June 1, 2010: (Greek reed instrument. It was the most important of the ancient Greek wind instruments; even when used in the singular, usually denotes a wind instrument consisting of two pipes and two (probably double) reeds. However, since the word was also applied to any hollow, elongated tube, aulos may refer to any wind instrument consisting of a single pipe with or without a reed, including (occasionally) the trumpet.) |
