Synaulia is a project consisting of Italian paleorganologist Walter Maioli (born in Milan, 1950) with his daughter Luce Maioli and Nathalie van Ravenstein. The name comes from the Greek synaulia, which in ancient Rome referred to a group of instruments consisting mainly of wind instruments. For over 30 years Maioli has been researching and practically testing (via the group Synaulia) the origins of music, sound and musical instruments. He has travelled extensively in southern Europe, northern Africa and and the middle east to study the traditional music of these areas.
