The oldest known wooden pipes were discovered near Greystones, Ireland, in 2004. When they announced their discovery, the scientists suggested that the "finds demonstrate the presence of a well-established musical tradition at the time when modern humans colonized Europe". This flute was found next to the Venus of Hohle Fels and a short distance from the oldest known human carving. Other flutes were also found in the cave. The discovery is also the oldest confirmed find of any musical instrument in history. The researchers involved in the discovery officially published their findings in the journal Nature, in June 2009. The five-holed flute has a V-shaped mouthpiece and is made from a vulture wing bone. In 2008, archaeologists discovered a bone flute in the Hohle Fels cave near Ulm, Germany. However, whether it is truly a musical instrument or simply a carnivore-chewed bone is a matter of ongoing debate.

The larynx (voice box) is like a wind instrument. The human voice can make many different kinds of sounds. The first musical instrument used by humans was probably the voice. This may, of course, also serve to defend the territory. Monkeys have been seen beating hollow logs. Songbirds use song to protect their territory, or to attract a mate. It may also serve as entertainment (games), or have practical uses, like luring animals when hunting. Shamans sometimes imitate sounds that are heard in nature. Human music may echo these phenomena using patterns, repetition and tonality. The first music was probably made trying to imitate sounds and rhythms that occurred naturally. 1310–1320Įven in the stone age people made music.
