friend. I don’t know its current whereabouts. It is made of Ivory, well turned as you would expect from an instrument made for a wealthy client. and probably dates to the late 1600s. I was able to make several x-rays of the instrument with the help of a friendly local chiropractor, and these are included below. These x-rays showed several interesting things about this instrument is that visual inspection did not:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>The bell of the instrument is made of a separate piece of ivory, and attached to the body with very precise threads. I’m told that this is common in instruments of the period.</li><li>The petit chalumeau or small chanter has an incomplete bore, and not all of the keys and associated holes are connected to the bore meaning that the instrument is not fully playable.</li></ul> <p>I’m adding my (very) rough notes from the measuring session. I’ve always wished to make measured drawings, but that may not happen, and I hope that my notes may help more than hinder anyone else interested in this instrument.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-attachment-id="660" data-permalink="https://sohl.com/img382/" data-orig-file="https://sohl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/img382.jpg" data-orig-size="1667,1051" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="img382" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://sohl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/img382.jpg?w=300" data-large-file="https://sohl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/img382.jpg?w=788" width="1024" height="645" src="https://sohl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/img382.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-660" srcset="https://sohl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/img382.jpg?w=1024 1024w, https://sohl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/img382.jpg?w=150 150w, https://sohl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/img382.jpg?w=300 300w, https://sohl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/img382.jpg?w=768 768w, https://sohl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/img382.jpg 1667w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption> <em>Chanter, Stocks, small chanter, showing fully assembled bell.</em></figcaption></figure> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-style-default"><img data-attachment-id="671" data-permalink="https://sohl.com/img392-1/" data-orig-file="https://sohl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/img392-1.jpg" data-orig-size="1664,1016" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1"}" data-image-title="img392-1" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://sohl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/img392-1.jpg?w=300" data-large-file="https://sohl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/img392-1.jpg?w=788" width="1024" height="625" src="https://sohl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/img392-1.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-671" srcset="https://sohl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/img392-1.jpg?w=1024 1024w, https://sohl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/img392-1.jpg?w=150 150w, https://sohl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/img392-1.jpg?w=300 300w, https://sohl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/img392-1.jpg?w=768 768w, https://sohl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/img392-1.jpg 1664w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption><em>The back of the instrument</em></figcaption></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The large chanter</h2> <figure class="wp-block-image is-resized"><img data-attachment-id="315" data-permalink="https://sohl.com/2021/08/27/311/musette_xray_chanter4/" data-orig-file="https://sohl.com/wp-content/uploads/1999/02/musette_xray_chanter4.jpg" data-orig-size="600,107" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="Musette_Xray_Chanter4" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://sohl.com/wp-content/uploads/1999/02/musette_xray_chanter4.jpg?w=300" data-large-file="https://sohl.com/wp-content/uploads/1999/02/musette_xray_chanter4.jpg?w=600" loading="lazy" src="https://sohl.com/wp-content/uploads/1999/02/musette_xray_chanter4.jpg" alt="Musette_Xray_Chanter4" class="wp-image-315" width="837" height="149" srcset="https://sohl.com/wp-content/uploads/1999/02/musette_xray_chanter4.jpg 600w, https://sohl.com/wp-content/uploads/1999/02/musette_xray_chanter4.jpg?w=150&h=27 150w, https://sohl.com/wp-content/uploads/1999/02/musette_xray_chanter4.jpg?w=300&h=54 300w" sizes="(max-width: 837px) 100vw, 837px" /><figcaption><em>Side x-ray of chanter showing undercutting, threading and bore profile</em></figcaption></figure> <p></p> <p>These images show the taper of the socket for the reed, the bore and the expansion at the foot of the instrument.

/><figcaption><em>Alignment of the top and bottom of the drones</em></figcaption></figure> <p>Although there are 5 sliders, one of the sliders does not appear to be functional. there are also three additional bores that do not appear to make sense. </p> <p>The drones, from highest pitch to lowest pitch are as follows:</p> <ol class="wp-block-list"><li>bore U, 3.5 mm diameter, no reed socket, opens to slider 1. Plug is missing from end opposite of reed. It is possible that this bore connects internally or was intended to connect with bore Z, making the drone W (socket), connected to Z, connected to U.</li><li>bore Q, 3.5 mm diameter, socket is 5 mm, connects to bore T, also 3.1 mm, opens to slider 2. Plug at reed end.</li><li>bore M, 2.5(?) mm diameter, socket is 4.5. Connects to bore P which opens to slider 3. Plug at reed end.</li><li>and 5. Bore A, 4.5 mm, socket is 6 mm, connected to bore D. Bore D is connected to bore E. Bore E is connected to bore H, which exits at slider 5. H is connected (although currently plugged) to bore I, which (I’m told in correspondence with Bart Van Troyen) should connect to bore L which opens at slider 4, allowing the drone to produce one of two notes, depending on which slider is opened, 4, or 5.This connection is either internal, or not completed in this instrument according to the photographs.</li></ol> <figure class="wp-block-image
