Elblag Koboz, a small plucked Instrument that was found in a medieval toilet, Elbląg, Poland, 1350–1450 A.D.
The Elbląg ‘gittern’: a case of mistaken identity. Part 1/2: Why the koboz was misidentified.
In 1986, an instrument identified as a gittern was found in a latrine in Elbląg, Poland, dated to 1350–1450. Having commissioned luthier Paul Baker to create a replica, the instrument that emerged was a puzzle, taking Paul and I on a journey of discovery to reveal the true identity of the recovered instrument.
