        An amazing discovery. Great to read that people are creating working instruments based on discoveries like this.

        Looks a lot like the back cover of a rear axle from a 1960s car or old pick up truck. Gotta scrape the seal off cleanly or it'll leak oil.

        Its a Cenulum, stringed across from one side to the other. A version existed in Phoenecian culture at that time.
