Dating back over two millennia, the Carnyx holds a significant place in the ancient Celtic culture, symbolizing strength, power, and the vibrant spirit of its people. Shaped like a fearsome animal, often a boar or a serpent, this brass instrument was renowned for its distinct tonal quality that echoed across ancient battlefields.
