Early Medieval Bone Pipes: Understanding the Sounds of These Instruments through Reconstruction

Bone pipes are the most numerous instrument surviving from Early Medieval England. These instruments are usually classified as ‘flutes’ despite many of the examples missing the defining categorisations. Two examples from the archaeological record of early Medieval England will be used as case studie...
