This latter instrument, described as ‘the only instrument of its kind in the world’, is an example of the innovations that were happening in tuned percussion in this period. The actual metallophone — or one very much like it — is on display in the exhibition. You can see the metallophone being reconstructed for display in the video ‘Percy Grainger’s Tuneful Percussion’, a segment of which can be seen here: <br /><br /><a title="Assembling the Lynch Family metallophone" href="https://vimeo.com/318105947" target="_blank"><br /></a> <iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/318105947" frameborder="0" width="640" height="360"></iframe> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1920s
