As for the horn, I can't imagine how it can give a marching pace...I think it requires pretty strong lungs to sound a battle horn, and it would be REALLY hard for someone to give the pace with it.
But again: no I don't have specific sources.
"They told him to throw down his sword and return to the earth. Hah! Time enough for the earth in the grave."
Aside from flutes and the obvious drums, what other instruments were in use?
I'm sure there werent any others, but if someone knows that there were![]()
