Clarion
The clarion, clarichord, clavicord or rest is a rare charge in heraldry of uncertain origin and purpose. In Canadian heraldry, it is the cadency mark of a ninth daughter. It is generally said to represent a musical instrument such as a panpipe, organ or recorder, but does not resemble the trumpet-like clarion known to modern musicians. Alternatively it has been said to represent a "rest", a device used by mediaeval knights to support a lance during jousting. To add to the confusion, "Claricord" is now the brand name of an adjustable neckstrap used to support the weight of a clarinet. The use of this word for an instrument resembling a panpipe or clarion horn suggests it was a wind instrument. However, Webster's Dictionary defines it as a string-instrument as follows: 1828 edition: CLARICHORD, n. A musical instrument in form of a spinet, called also manichord. It has forty nine or fifty stops or keys, and seventy strings; some of the latter being in unison. There are several little mortises for passing the jacks, armed with brass hooks, which stop and raise the chords, instead of the feather used in virginals and spinets. The chords are covered with pieces of cloth, which deaden the sound and render it sweeter. Hence it is particularly used by nuns.
