A five-day research retreat focusing on reed making for ancient doublepipes. Our practical experiments and discussions, investigating literary evidence by Theophrastus and material evidence from Egypt, led to an article in Journal of Music Archaeology 2. 

Warm thanks to our host, Antonio Panetta, and to the students who harvested the Phragmites australis that we processed and turned into reeds and Egyptian pipes during this retreat: Marilia Caso, Alessandro Di Leo, Asja Montemurro, and Davide Poggiolini.
