A "aulos" is one of the earliest instruments from Ancient Greece.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aulos
Kinda the ancestor of the modern-day oboe, english horn, and bassoon. Only because its a "double-reed" wind instrument.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPb28190XGs this is replica of what the aulos sounded like ( don't worry about the horrible sounding notes, that's actually typical in this kind of music.)
When I studied Early Music in my undergrad, I was really fascinated with Ancient Greek and Babylonian History. The music that we know in the present was somewhat already though of thousands of years ago.
The instrument is real...the satyr is not. LOL>

i know how you feel, when we first heard this in one of my lectures, we all cracked up. LOL. However, there is a reason why it sounds like it. In music there are notes within existing ones called "quarter-tones". in music there are whole-tones and half tones, but quarter-tones are notes that occur when you divide a half-tone ( in half).
Oh well i tried to explain it in english. LOL.
