The Plinthophone
Preliminary Information
History
The Plinthophone was invented by Antony Pace in England in
August 2009 for Antony Gormley's Fourth Plinth project in
Trafalgar Square.

Construction
Details of the Plinthophone will be released when it is
demonstrated between 6am and 7am on 18th August 2009. The
Plinthophone is portable but requires some assembly and
tuning.
Tuning
An untuned Plinthophone, as with most tunable instruments, is
unpleasant both accoustically and visually. Once tuned though,
playing it is very easy to learn. It is a beautiful
instrument.
Future Performances
To date the plinth launch is the only planned public
performance of The Plinthophone and only one exists. Future
performances are expected and can be arranged with Antony
directly.
