High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! An aulos (Greek , plural , auloi) or tibia (Latin) was an ancient Greek wind instrument, depicted often in art and also attested by archaeology. There were several kinds of auloi. A single pipe without a reed was called the monaulos ( , from "single"). A single pipe held horizontally, as the modern flute, was the plagiaulos ( , from "sideways"). The most common variety must have been a reed instrument. Archeological finds, surviving iconography and other evidence indicate that it was usually double-reeded, like an oboe, although simple variants with a single clarinet-type reed cannot be ruled out. Though aulos is often and erroneously translated as "flute", its sound — described as "penetrating, insisting and exciting" — was more akin to that of the bagpipes, with a chanter and (modulated) drone.
