300 pictures of the instrument from the ancient world, but only about 6 depict it being played, all show it being it played upright.

A Deskford Carnyx reconstruction was constructed to allow the instrument to be played upright.

The Deskford Carnyx has a skull which resonates with sound rather than coming straight out as might be imagined.

Tintignac hoard included six carnyces. These included ears which ring sympathetically as the instrument is played. The sound come straight out of mouth of the instrument.

The Tintignac Carnyx was meant to be played horizontal or off horizontal.
