So I just found out about this medieval “instrument” called a bone pipe organ, and yes—it’s exactly what it sounds like.
In some parts of Europe, especially during the Black Death, people allegedly used human bones in church instruments—like actual femurs as part of the pipes.
Creepy or resourceful? Depends on how metal you are, I guess.
Anyone else ever heard of bone music? Is this myth, or did churches really get that wild?
