Hint 1
To the left of the table, there's what looks like a tea trolley full of hourglasses. On the bottom shelf, there's a small box with some triangles on it. When you pick it up, Nancy says she needs to get all the triangles pressed down. Read to the end of this hint for a quick way to do this.
Hint 2

Hint 3

Hint 5

Inside, you find some sweet (ish) letters between Magnus and Elisabet. He repeatedly asks to borrow her grandmother's langspil, which is a musical instrument of some kind. Say, didn't we see a bunch of instruments in the Missti Skip?
