Quote:Good one, Salvianus! I like the sagum, if they still called it that in your period. How does the lituus sound?
Cheers. Yep, that's my sagum, which is folded over below the fibula so it makes a head covering or decent blanket. I have a small, light version with a fringe that I call a sagulum for the really hot days.
The lituus has a good rich tone, less brassy than my old bugle and quite a range, although I seem to be able to find lots of 'in between' notes as well as a good scale :-) )
