THE PIPE AND TABOR 113 



represented ; it could not, I believe, have been 

 drawn from a model. 



In Mahillon's Catalogue i., p. 375, is a figure of a 

 Basque playing a 3-holed pipe, and accompanying 

 himself on the tountouna, a rough stringed instru- 

 ment. The grip seems to be carefully drawn, but 

 it is hard to see how it could be efficient, only two 

 fingers being seen on the upper surface of the pipe. 

 On the other hand, in a photograph of a Basque 

 playing the same instrument (which I owe to the 

 kindness of a correspondent), the grip is like that 

 figured by Mahillon. 



Finally, in Punch, November 13, 1907, a 3-holed 

 pipe is incorrectly drawn. The bore of the instru- 

 ment is conical, the holes are incorrectly given, and 

 the hand is wrong. 



APPENDIX II 



The Fingering of the 3-holed Piper 



The following diagram gives the fingerings 

 which I have found to be best for a 3-holed pipe, 

 a copy of an old one in the possession of Mr. 

 Manning, of Oxford, to whom I am indebted for 

 much kindly assistance.
