We assisted in a research project on medieaval moot horns, by providing X-ray images of some of Kent's surviving horns, like the Folkstone moot horn here. Big thanks to Chris Spree NDT X-Radiography facility.

Dr Louise Bacon summarises her research project on horns:
Ten Burghmote or Moot horns still exist, mainly in the towns of the Cinque Ports, the earliest dating from possibly the 13th century. Analysis of the metal has shown them to be either bronze or brass, with a third category of a ternary alloy of copper, tin and zinc. They exhibit a variety of repairs, some botched, some refined, some tantalisingly strange, some to enable playing. All of them are still blown today and one has even had a piece of music written for it.

We also X-rayed the Faversham horn for Louise - you can hear it being blown, below:
