Members SonicVI Posted March 29, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 It looks like it was made in the 1860's. I wonder if it's maybe a bass drum pedal trigger or something. It looks more mechanical than electronic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members melx Posted March 29, 2008 Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 It looks like a spare part off an old organ or something to me. Either that or it's some old mining equipment from the gold rush days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HeartfeltDawn Posted March 29, 2008 Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 Presumably it was custom built for member of the SPanish Inquisition who moonlighed as a bassist when off-duty. It looks like it should inflict tremendous pain upon one's person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members melx Posted March 29, 2008 Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 maybe it's not a bass pedal but a 'Bass' pedal (the fish) automatic filleting machine maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SonicVI Posted March 29, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 maybe it's not a bass pedal but a 'Bass' pedal (the fish) automatic filleting machine maybe. It's spring loaded which made me think it might be an electronic kick drum trigger. Although it does look like you could possibly use it as a nutcracker too.
