Talk:Pantalon

Instruments
The claim that no instruments survive to the present day is suspect. This news article (in Finnish), while talking mostly about a newly-found dulcian, also mentions that conservator Aki Arponen of the Finnish National Board of Antiquities recently visited the central storage of the Finnish National Museum and found "a pantalon, a predecessor of the hammerklavier (hammered dulcimer) from around 1750. There are in total about four similar instruments left in the world." Klehti (talk) 14:56, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
