A tamp assembly for use in preparing a bone ( 50 ) for implantation of a component of a joint prosthesis, comprises a handle ( 42 ), a first tamp part ( 2 ) located remote from the handle ( 42 ), and a plurality of second tamp parts ( 20, 22, 24 ). Each of the second tamp parts ( 20, 22, 24 ) can be located between the handle ( 42 ) and the first tamp part ( 2 ), and the cross-sectional configuration of the second tamp parts ( 20, 22, 24 ) at their ends which face towards and contact the first tamp part ( 2 ) substantially matches the cross-sectional configuration of the first tamp part ( 2 ) on its end which faces and contacts the second tamp parts ( 20, 22, 24 ). Each of the second tamp parts ( 20, 22, 24 ) is then flared outwardly from its end which faces towards the first tamp part ( 2 ) towards the end which faces towards the handle ( 42 ) with the shape of the flare varying between individual ones of the second tamp parts ( 20, 22, 24 ).
