Medieval Shrew’s Fiddle/ Neck Violin
This replica of a medieval neck violin made of wood with hand-forged iron fittings is a perfect prop for each medieval festival and knight’s dinner.
After the violin has been opened, the head and both wrists can be put into the recesses and the violin can be closed again. The neck cuff can easily be "locked" by the screw at the front, and needs no other form of securing. In medieval times the neck violin was used for punishing less serious offences, like squabbling, or petty larceny. The convicted person was led through the streets with the violin around the neck and publically humiliated.
