DIAULOS  The diaulos was an ancient Greece wind instrument composed of two pipes (aulos), which were played similar to an oboe. The diaulos is basically two flutes put together The two pipes were connected at their base and often of different lengths.


The launeddas and the diaulos are both ancient double-reed woodwind instruments, but they have distinct cultural and historical backgrounds.
The launeddas originated in Sardinia and are still played in traditional Sardinian music today. They consist of three pipes: two melody pipes and one drone pipe. The performer uses circular breathing to play all three pipes simultaneously, creating a unique and haunting sound. The launeddas have a long history in Sardinian culture, dating back to ancient times, and they were likely influenced by various Mediterranean cultures.
On the other hand, the diaulos originated in ancient Greece and consisted of two parallel pipes, each with its own mouthpiece. The diaulos was commonly used in religious ceremonies, festivals, and theatrical performances in ancient Greece. It had a significant cultural and musical role in Greek society but eventually fell out of use after the decline of ancient Greek civilization.
While both instruments are double-reed woodwinds and may share some similarities in sound and construction, they come from different regions and cultural contexts. However, they both represent the rich diversity of ancient musical traditions in the Mediterranean region.
