Zusammenfassung
DCM ledger: "Native flute from Calcutta." Quoting letter from Lovejoy, 21 March 1925: "The vendor called it a 'Muralli piccolo.' Even he could give me no particulars as to its origin. 'Muralli' is an Indian name for a flute."
Instrument type: Horizontal Whistle Flute
Medium: Bamboo.; 38 cm.
Key Holes System: 0/6 holes.
Mark Maximum: No mark.
Condition: Between the blow pipe and fipple, there is a recessed, unfinished section in which something was either inlaid or wrapped. It currently has a loose wrapping of brass wire which seems not necessary or pertinent.
Provenance: J. S. Lovejoy (formerly of Calcutta), Letchworth, Hertfordshire, England, 23 Sept. 1926.
