1|Fife (Fragment)|Edward Hopkins, Jr.|Troy, New York|ca. 1860|Cocus, nickel silver end ferrule, pewter mouthpiece (portion).||Fragment.|38.65 cm.|HOPKINS / TROY||DCM " Army Fife...formerly had a lead mouthpiece fitted on; the blow-pipe has been cut away, leaving the lead ring around body. Also had a silver ferrule with inscription, now lost. This fife was used in a Fife and Drum Corps in the war of 1861 by ? and by my father C.W.D. Miller in the 'Squirrel Hunters.' This fife was in the 'Shaker' basket of babyhood playthings, the earliest of my remembrances. It was then whole. But it was 'banged around' on the floor baby-fashion, and was used, as I grew, as a general stick and plaything, and was broken in my childhood. It was broken before I really began to play music. The first tunes were learned on a later tin fife. Among my childhood playthings were also an old boxwood clarinet with flat brass keys, ivory rings, and a violin, which had belonged to my grandfather Miller. These disappeared in boy-hood days. With the fife, clarinet, and violin, from baby-hood on, I became familiar with three distinct types of instruments. I made trials upon all, and used them for boyhood 'circus parades', etc."|Lower half cracked away & missing at 2nd fingerhole; remaining portion cracked in 5 places.

RES: "By 'Badger's regular work on body,' Miller refers to the maker's normal foot joint design plus his usual key cup design applied to the middle joint despite its bizarre fingering scheme. This apparently experimental system is perhaps the most unique in the Miller collection. Miller The foot joint is standard, low C#, C, standing open, but the body contains 13 keys, all standing closed requiring a reasonably awkward technique if to function as a fully vented system according to Boehm. To hold this instrument is awkward in that the tonehole placement leaves no practical place to rest the right thumb and the left thumb placement is nearly as difficult. It is possible that this instrument was to receive a crutch for the RH, possibly also for the left, and never completed."||Purchased on the Bowery, New York, 20 Aug. 1910.|dcmflute|0000|0025|0025f|0025m|Mark|0025k|Key|0025d1||0025d2||0025a1||0025a2|||

At the upper end of the head joint, immediately beneath the cap, it is morticed to take a decorative ferrule (now missing), which DCM reported to be of animal horn.
