Why an ancient carnyx horn was played before Wales v Iceland

The carnyx is thousands of years old, so the Barry Horns admitted it had been difficult to figure out.

“No one’s played this thing for two thousand years,” claimed Fez.

“No-one knows how to play it. We’ve all had a go on it. It’s suited to a trumpet or trombone player.”

On the night itself, Gas Man found one unexpected challenge – the weather.

“One of the really unexpected things was the cold conditions,” he said.

“I think anybody who plays a brass instrument would understand just how difficult it is to play when it’s really cold!”

Only around a dozen ancient carnyxes have been found to date – the most recent one was found by a metal detectorist in Suffolk in 2016.
