🤔 The last time I visited my Italian grandmother, a particular object caught my attention 👀. It was truly intriguing, and I wondered what it could possibly be used for.
Curious, I asked her what it was, and she explained that it belonged to my grandfather 💕. She had kept it as a memento of him.
She then went on to tell me how it worked and what it was used for 🛠️.
I’ll share more in the first comment below 👇👇👇.
So, as Grandma said, it’s an Italian instrument.
It’s one of the percussion instruments.
It’s used in traditional Italian folk music and is called a “Troccoli.”
When these small wooden hammers strike certain surfaces, they create a distinctive rhythmic sound.
Musicians slide it across the striped surface of the instrument or gently strike it to create a unique accompaniment.
When my grandfather was young, he visited a small village in the south of the country.
Local musicians played in the village square, and my grandfather really liked the sound produced by this instrument.
He decided to buy it as a souvenir, and it has been on his desk ever since, even after his passing.
After all, every object has a fascinating story, and this old Italian instrument is no exception.
