The tabor pipe fragment of Lengberg castle (Tirol)
In cooperation with Mag. Michael Schick (Institut für Archäologien, Universität Innsbruck) our institute examined a fragment of a duct flute excavated in a 15th century pendentif filling in Lengberg castle in Eastern Tyrol. It not only revealed different stages of finishing this fragment already broken while built and then modified as a children's toy but also indications for its original planning concept as a three-holed tabor pipe. Based on this documentation a functioning reconstruction could be made.
