Looks like we'll have to think of another nickname for today's knuckle-dragging yobbos!
"They date back 35,000 to 40,000 years, making them the oldest undisputed musical instruments."
Of course, according to some folks, that means they must pre-date the World itself by about 30,000 years .... now that's some trick!
I don't think even David Copperfield could match that one!

Perhaps Bogman, but only if they played them ....... one at a time!

I suppose they're not counting hands and feet as musical instruments, then?

Fascinating.
A friend of mine very recently said that to him flutes seemed to be the most basic, earthly instrument. Seems to be true so!
ps - and he meant 'basic' in a good way
