Instrument Key
This inch long (2.5 cm) instrument key was found in the manor house, and would have been used to tighten the stings
on a musical instrument such as a lute or fiddle.
Medieval instruments did not look too different from those of today
and were used for the entertainment of the manor lord and his guests.
There is a lot that you can do here: you can see both a physical reconstruction and a
virtual reconstruction of what the
instrument may have looked like, or you can view
reconstructions of the manor hall interior, or
see and hear reenactment of medieval music.
