The dord is a bronze horn native to Ireland,[1] with excavated examples dating back as far as 1000 BC, during the Bronze Age. A number of original dords are known to exist,[citation needed] with some replicas also being built in the late 20th century.[2][3]
Bronze Age horns in the Irish Museum. The largest in this image is 7+1⁄2 feet (2.3 m) long, with the second largest at 6 feet (1.8 m).
Though the musical tradition of the dord has been lost, some modern performers like Rolf Harris and Alan Dargin believe that it was played in a manner similar to the didgeridoo (with circular breathing and shifts in timbre) and have applied that technique to modern fusion music. The Irish musician Simon O'Dwyer attempted to recreate a historically accurate dord in the late 20th century.[4][5]
