{108a} Mr. Galpin, however, uses another grip; he crooks the little
finger and presses against the lower end of the pipe, of course without
occluding the bore at all. In the early drawings reproduced by Strutt
(see _ante_ p. 102) the taborers show as a rule three fingers only. This
is practically Luca della Robbia's grip, since the little finger could
hardly show in these small illustrations. In Welch's book on the
Recorder (p. 195) is a figure (reproduced from Mahillon) of a Basque
holding his 3-holed pipe in a different way, viz., with the ring finger
underneath and the little finger unemployed. I find it impossible to
hold the pipe in this manner.

{110a} A German writer has suggested that this position allows the
musician to beat the drum with his head!

{110b} According to Mahillon, _Catalogue_ iii., p. 377, to play the
tabor and pipe is called in Provencal "tutupomponeyer."

his deputy in the Lucasian Professorship, an office he finally resigned
