A Tribute to the
Dawn of Art.
Discovered in 2008 in a German cave, the original artifact was carved from the radius bone of a Griffon vulture. We have created a visual and tactile homage to this ancient technology.

The Ultimate Conversation Piece
"Perfect for your altar, classroom, or history collection."
Note: This is an "Experimental" replica. It is extremely difficult to play and is intended primarily for display and historical appreciation.
"They look just like the pictures of the originals, very nice! Can't wait to show my music students!"

Why Replicate It?
The original artifact is too fragile to be touched, let alone played. By using 3D modeling and polymer printing, we allow you to hold a piece of history that was lost for millennia.
This isn't just a souvenir. It is a physical connection to the moment humans became artists.

Can I play it? (Please Read)
This is primarily a historical reconstruction. While some professional players may be able to coax sound from it, it is a "rim-blown" design that is notoriously difficult.
We sell this as an "Acoustic Experiment" for history enthusiasts, rather than a guaranteed musical instrument. We recommend treating it as a display piece that connects you to the past.
How do I clean it?
The PETG polymer is water-resistant. You can rinse the windway with lukewarm water and let it air dry. Avoid leaving it in hot cars.
When will it ship?
We ship from Long Beach, CA. Orders typically ship within 24-48 hours via USPS.
