Bone Pipes with Parallel Tone Holes. Materials from Medieval Poland (until the End of the 12th C)

Bone and wood pipes are among the medieval aerophones which have been discovered during archaeological excavations in Poland. The ones that interested us are characterized by a parallel arrangement of sound holes. They are short pipes, several centimetres long, with two holes cut in different places...
