I found this pin in Sortavala 15-20 years ago. It is about 5-6 cm long and looks like silver. I still don't know what this pin represents. My best guess is that this is either a military musical band pin, or a music festival pin. Any help is much appreciated!

Löysin tämän tapin Sortavalassa 15-20 vuotta sitten. Se on noin 5-6 cm pitkä ja näyttää hopealta. En vieläkään tiedä, mitä tämä pin edustaa. Paras arvaus on, että tämä on joko sotilaallinen musikaalibändi tai musiikkifestivaali. Kaikki apu on paljon arvostettu!

Re: [English] Please help identify pin
The closest match I could find is the logo of The Academic Male Voice Choir of Helsinki. The wreath around clef is very similar in both logos as well is the idiom.

Could it be their old logo?
Edit:
The first full-time music teacher in Sortavala teacher training academy was Nils Kiljander.
Kiljander was also The chief conductor of The Academic Male Voice Choir of Helsinki short time in 1880 so maybe there is a connection.
