Hi
Thank you for reading my post.
can you please help me about the following question ?
What is the instrument name of mr Tumnus , the one which he played the lullaby
I just wonder , is there such a nice instrument any where ?
was that music come from the instrument or it was from some computeral devices ?
what is the name of that Flute like instrument.

that music was really great.
 
Oh that song was sooooo pretty! I loved it so much. I dunno what the instruments called. I think I read about it somewhere but I can't find it. If I do find it I'll let ya know
 
Ye Olde Badger knoweth...

That instrument is called an "Aulos" and it was used in Ancient Greece. One half was for the "drone" accompaniment and the other half, played with the fingers of one hand, was for the melody. It was difficult to play because, unlike your music appreciation class Recorder, you had to use an upper and lower register just to play ONE OCTAVE...only so many fingers on a hand, you know.

The actual instruments (yes, more than one) used to produce the sound were probably ocarinas.

I play a pretty mean recorder myself, soprano, alto AND tenor. Soprano and Tenor are keyed to C and Alto is keyed to F. For those in the know, my Soprano is German fingering and Alto and Tenor are in Baroque fingering. No, I don't do ocarinas.

I don't know, but when I think "recorder", I think of 1st grade and 3 blind mice (or hot cross buns, whatever). I would love to hear a "mean" recorder. Is this like a rock n' roll recorder?

They are used with younger kids to teach music, but not musician grade instruments. Like, uh, well...mine. ;)

Can you please tell me more :
1-you mean that sound does not come from a Aulos , and it comes from an ocareno ?
I read some where else that there were more than one people engaged to produce that music , but
2-does Aulos , played the main rule ?
is really its voice such beautifull and charm , i really shocked and love such calm musics.

Thank you very much
ps: can i contact you directly , about flutes.... ?
 
Yes , it looks very like the one in Narnia movie.
Is there such instrument still available in markets ?

does any one else know such thing?

Thank you
 
In short, I've heard from a canon source that the pipe Tumnus played was a prop. The music, like all music, was pre-recorded and dubbed in. And yes it was played by two separate instruments, a duet if you will.

The authentic Greek Aulos had two whistles, not one master whistle with a U shaped thing below. This is a musical necessity. The skill required to play the Aulos...or double flute...is limited to a few music historians, and the sound itself would seem strange to your ears since it would not be the octave you are used to hearing. The rest of the world gets by simulating the sound with two different players, and considering the melody they played it would have to be instruments of the modern period dominated by the octave and the chroma. No modern instruments are double chantered.

Few ancient Greek melodies survive. They are spelled out using greek letters in a way similar to our CDEFGAB scale. The one most well known is "Epitaph of Selikos," a hymn written on her tombstone by a grieving husband. You may be able to find it on Google.
