Modern Tuning Hammer |
||
| Description |
English: A cast copper alloy Post-Medieval tool, probably a tuning hammer for a stringed or percussion instrument. The tool has a small double-ended head with one end flaring to a circular striking plate and the other split into two prongs that have a slight downward curve. There is a small suspension loop at the top of the head. The shaft of the tool is rectangular in section with rounded corners and a decorative collar approximately two thirds of the way down. The collar is decorated with raised horizontal bands at top and bottom between which is an area of raised lozengiform decoration. The base of the shaft flares to form a rectangular socket, perhaps used to tune the pegs or strings of musical instruments. Length: 68.09mm; Width (at head): 35.01mm; Thickness: 7.80mm; Diameter of head: 8.93mm; Weight: 21.49g.
A near identical example is recorded on the PAS in Nottinghamshire (DENO-424DC3) dated to the eighteenth to nineteenth centuries AD. |
