Can you Identify this Box? (post #169562)

Posting for a friend - he'd like to know what this is for.


There are fourteen Y-shaped pieces with white plastic or ivory on top, with a slot as if for a wire.

The two corner pieces have that same white on their corners.

The metal pieces on the bottom of the corner (quarter?) pieces do not turn.

 

Hope you can help!  :)

Just a semi wild guess (post #169562, reply #1 of 3)

I'm thinking they may be bridges to tune a western hammered dalcimer to Asian tuning.

Work Safe,  Count to 10 when your done for the day !!

I'm sorry that I can't help you with identifying the objects but they are great photos.  How do you ad them to a post?
