About the Item

Metronomo sistema Paquet 1815 e Johan Maelzel 1846 della seconda metà del XIX secolo. Misure cm 11x11x23,5 – 4.3x4.3x9.3. L'ultima foto è la confezione regalo. Si tratta di uno strumento in legno di rovere utilizzato per misurare il tempo della musica, il suono del pendolo segnala con esattezza la velocità di esecuzione. Lo strumento è costituito da un pendolo con contrappeso che funziona con un meccanismo ad orologeria con ruote dentate mosse da una molla. L’asta collocata sulla parte anteriore munita di contrappeso viene azionata dal meccanismo ad orologeria che con le sue oscillazioni scandisce il trascorrere del tempo. Lo strumento è alloggiato in una scatola a forma di piramide in legno di rovere che sulla parte frontale reca una placca in ottone e i nomi di Paquet 1815 e dell’inventore il fisico austriaco J.N. Maelezel 1846. Philippe-Nicolas Paquet nacque nel 1823; si stabilì a Parigi, dove lavorò per la società Maelzel Metronome; alla morte di Johann Nepomuk Maelzel assunse poi la direzione della fabbrica e nel 1867 stabilì un nuovo piccolo impianto di macchine utensili e di produzione di metronomi a Beaumont Sur Oise. Lo stabilimento di Beaumont rimase in produzione fino al 1983. Tra i primi ad usare questo tipo di strumento fu Ludwing van Beethoven.
