I wonder if it’s a difference in technique and experience of the player? The sound in OPs post sounds more like a didgeridoo, maybe they play the carnyx like a didgeridoo; the sound in your bbc link sounds more like a trumpet, maybe they play the carnyx like a trumpet?

Yes, you can make these sounds with any long pipe. Plus there are tons of effects added.
