Louvre aulos: basic scales and keys, Imperial setting (Lynch 2022)

Lynch, Tosca A. C.

As discussed in a forthcoming publication, this figure represents the Iastian/Hypoiastian keys produced by the Louvre Aulos in its Imperial setting.

This setting is consistent with the tunings recorded in the Imperial musical documents, discussed in Lynch 2023a and with Ptolemy's harmogai, transcribed and discussed in Lynch forthcoming.
