What is it ??

Yaa - mine is a very inexpensive model I picked up at the Williamsburg Scottish Games a few years ago; I think I paid $25. My intention was for it to be a wall ornament, however, I have taken it down and beat on it a few times.

THAT was fast. Paint job is mine.

If you had posted this picture to start with….I still would not have gotten it.

It's an Irish drum.

I know what a bodhran is; I just don't have enough experience with one to actually identify it as such, I guess. But I wouldn't have even guessed a musical instrument--it just wasn't clicking for me!

Awfully nice of you to wait! I hit that nail on the head due to years of playing semi-professionally in folk bands and working in music stores.

Here's the next one.

Awesome! A brass screw in a piece of wood, with a varnish coating and some direct flash. My first thought is a boat, or a canoe, but since you worked in a music store, it may be a guitar or similar instrument.

Yeah, sorry about the direct flash... kind of a grab-n-go on the photo.

Not a boat, Not a musical instrument.

I've been checking out that angle, but I believe that screw adjusts something and has to be turned occasionally and I can't find anything like that for a guitar.

By the way, whatever it's for, try using the next larger screwdriver.

I appreciate the advice. The screwdriver rash was there when I purchased this item. You will want to smack the person who had this before me when you learn what it is.

Or maybe you won't. Who knows.

The only reason that screw would need to be adjusted is if it came loose on it's own, not as part of any kind of calibration. That said, there are other screws on this item that ARE used for calibration.

Nevermind...not an instrument

Is a metronome a musical instrument, or just a time keeper?

I suppose anything could TECHNICALLY be a musical instrument if you recorded it in a musical fashion or hit it hard enough.

This, however, is not a metronome.
