Metal never dies. 🤘

Thank you, the dimensions are on the official archaeological publish of the discovery of Tintignac : hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01922481

Merci !

Thank you. It was not the point anyway to do it the way they did. This would. Take years to make just one.

@@Gofannon Yeah, I'm sure. Anyway, it would be very interesting to know how "they" worked. It's astonishing how precisely some ancient pieces have been built.

Super ❤

I'll try to do that next.

Hey, thanks for your comment. Yes they are very unusual instruments. You can't play melodies with it, they are beasts with mighty voices as John Kenny says. I don't have any blue plan for it, I only worked with the official archaeological publish of the discovery of Tintignac, and that leads to your second question. There is actually 2 main design because ther is 2 famous archaeological found. So people who want to make something accurate will head to one or an other. But there is more, actually. You have the 6 carnices of Tintignac with the one almoste complet found in 2004. You have the carnyx of Deksford found in Scotland at the end of the 19th century, but here only the head was found, the rest is an invitation John Creed and his team. You have a carnyx found in northern France close to Belgium I think so. Only the left side of the head was found but there is some reproductions of it. And you have the carnyx of Sanzeno in Italian Alpes, only hears, pieces of the tube and the mouthpiece were found.

Here is the publish of Tintignac but it's in french : hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01922481

I heat the brass to anneal it. If you hit the brass (or bronze or copper) it will break at some point. But if you warm it up at the low red color, it's getting softer and it's soft as long as you don't hammer it, even when it's cold. And the black thing is called pitch for repoussé work.

Johnny, after he heats it, it helps to harden the brass as he goes along and works it. The more he hammers it the harder and tougher it will become over time. Jewelers know how to do this.

Hi, I seel it, please contact me by email for more information.

@@Gofannon okay thank you!!!

Hello, I make them to order, you can contact me on : samkegu@live.fr

I made a custom order to a metal factory, it was a bit expensive

@@Gofannon Thank you for the reply, would you be able to tell me where you sourced the bronze sheets? I find it extremely hard to find the materials.

@@Levi-xo9un it's not bronze it's brass. I buy on tartaix website. Yes broneis very hard to find. In Italy it's easier to find

Bronze, with an alloy variation between CuSn10 to CuSn12. And the rings parts was CuSn10 with a few % of lead in it.

I would love to!

There is no blueprints for carnyces anywhere. You will need to make it yourself like I did. You can send me an email to samuel.meric@gmail.com a f you want to know more. You don't need Gmail account to send me an email, just eny random email account will work.

There are tusks on this head.

@@Gofannon Aren't those tusks the ears?

@@Gofannon I meant tusks in the mouth.

@@GofannonAlso, the Carnyx found at Tintignac has tusks in its mouth, right? If possible, could you make a video on how to make a Carnyx with tusks in its mouth? If not, could you at least send me a link to a video that has that, or at least some blueprints?

@@GofannonOh, I thought you meant that the tusks were on TOP of the head! I didn't know you meant… I feel so stupid right now! Of course this Carnyx has tusks.
