介绍（中）	这对华丽的皇家水壶鼓是为大不列颠及爱尔兰国王、汉诺威选帝侯乔治三世（1738-1820）的汉诺威救生员制作的，上面有他的皇家纹章。这些仪式乐器将在马背上演奏，伴随着类似的小号手带领皇家游行队伍参加国家活动。银壶鼓套装是17至19世纪为王室制作的物品，象征着辉煌和财富，但今天只有少数几套幸存下来，因为其中许多都是因为含有大量珍贵材料而被熔化的。这是为汉诺威王朝的英国君主建造的几对中最古老的一对，后来的三对仍在伦敦使用，威廉四世于19世纪30年代为汉诺威宫廷委托制作的一套收藏在波士顿美术博物馆。在使用过程中，原本悬挂在鼓下部的深红色横幅也保留了下来。
介绍（英）	This magnificent pair of royal kettle drums was made for the Hanoverian Life Guards of George III (1738-1820), King of Great Britain and Ireland and Elector of Hanover, whose royal coat-of-arms they bear. These ceremonial instruments would have been played on horseback accompanied by similarly mounted trumpeters leading the royal procession for state events. Sets of silver kettle drums were items made for royals in the seventeenth through nineteenth century as symbols splendor and wealth, but only a handful of sets survive today, as many were melted down for the immense amount of precious material they contained. This is the oldest of several pairs built for English monarchs of the House of Hanover, three later pairs remain in use in London, and a set commissioned by William IV for the Hanoverian Court in the 1830s is at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The original crimson banners that would have been draped around the lower portion of the drums during use also survive.
