salpinx
A salpinx (; plural salpinges ; Greek σαλπιγξ) was a trumpet-like instrument of the ancient Greeks.〔(salpinx. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000 )〕
==Construction==
The salpinx consisted of a straight, narrow bronze tube with a mouthpiece of bone and a bell (also constructed of bronze) of variable shape and size; extant descriptions describe conical, bulb-like, and spherical structures. Each type of bell may have had a unique effect on the sound made by the instrument.〔Peter Krentz, “The Salpinx in Greek Warfare,” from Hoplites: The Classical Greek Battle Experience, edited by Victor Davis Hanson, 1991, pp. 110-120.〕 The instrument has been depicted in some classical era vases as employing the use of a phorbeia, similar to those used by aulos players of the era.〔James W. McKinnon. "Salpinx." In Grove Music Online. Oxford Music Online, http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com/subscriber/article/grove/music/24409 (accessed December 26, 2008).〕 Though similar to the Roman tuba, the salpinx was shorter than the approximately 1.5 meter long Roman tuba.〔James W. McKinnon. "Tuba (ii)." In Grove Music Online. Oxford Music Online, http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com/subscriber/article/grove/music/28526 (accessed December 26, 2008).〕 A rare example of a salpinx, held at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, is unique in that it is constructed from thirteen sections of bone connected using tenons and sockets (with bronze ferrules) rather than the long, bronze tube described elsewhere.〔Trumpet (salpinx), Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, http://www.mfa.org/collections/object/trumpet-salpinx-50847 (accessed August 26, 2014)〕 This salpinx is over 1.57 m long dwarfing the common salpinx which is estimated to have been around 0.8 – 1.20 m long.〔Peter Krentz, “The Salpinx in Greek Warfare,” from Hoplites: The Classical Greek Battle Experience, edited by Victor Davis Hanson, 1991, pp. 110-120.〕
