This is a collection of samples of ancient European instruments. Time
range 300 to 1300th century. The instrument notes has been separated as
one file per note, in their respective folder. Those notes are also the
specific instruments tonal range, in some instances it is possible to
play half notes if half of the finger hole is covered.

The instruments are:

A cow-horn that is blown like a trumpet, it has holes in it so it can be
played like a flute. It's quite ancient and was used up to the 1500's.
Just one sample as I am a HORRIBLE player, it has a lot more tonal range.

A flute made of sheep bone.

A iron age lyre.

A Buzzing bone ( bone with hole threaded on an string, rotated with bow
or similar ).

A iron age flute.

A staff with rings on, these rattles when the wooden staff is struck in
to the ground (rattlestaff).

Additions are welcome, but they have to be as good quality as possible,
tones separated in their own folder with the instruments name. raw file
must be included.

Everything should be put in their respective folder.
