A researcher has recreated a replica of an Iron Age instrument using a 3D-printer.
Billy Ó Foghlú, from ANU College of Asia-Pacific, has found evidence that the artefact may have been a mouthpiece from an iron-age horn and not a spearbutt as previously thought.
When Mr Ó Foghlú used the replica artefact as a mouthpiece, the ancient Irish horn had a richer, more velvety tone.
“Suddenly the instrument came to life,” said PhD student Mr Ó Foghlú.
