This is a Carnyx, a Celtic instrument used to scare enemies before battles. Remains have been found in the UK, Ireland, France and Spain. Played by Abraham Cupeiro at Celta de Vigo Stadium.

This is a link to another video of the carynx being played, this one even has the tongue in the “mouth” of the instrument that rattles as it’s played.

It’d be better without the additional music, we don’t really know what it sounds like because it is altered by said music.

I wonder what elephants would think of that. The first blats were very similar to elephant trumpets.

I’ve seen a video with a whole squad of these. It was insane. I don’t have time to look it up, but it’s there on YT for sure.

This guy looks into ancient documents and stuff to build replicas of ancient instruments. And then he plays them.
He has participated in some Hollywood films

Kinda made me think this instrument was based on ancient ancestors of Audrey, lol!
Honestly, if I heard this coming down the glen, everything under my kilt would be puckering! Really cool sound, though. Gonna see if this dude has any recordings available in extended length.

That thing sounds cool as hell. Great addition to an ominous movie score.

If it was played by that chubby modern man, the Kelts would have thought it was dinner time

The carynx is incredible, I wish it was used more in events like this in my country.
