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.
