Dord (instrument)

A number of original dords are known to exist,[citation needed] with some replicas also being built in the late 20th century.

[2][3] 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] A number of sources associate a mythical hunting horn, called the Dord Fiann, with Fionn mac Cumhaill and the Fianna of Irish mythology.
