Extract

This instrument was captured in the Tirah country, at a place called Bagh, during the recent campaign on the Northwestern frontier of India. It came into the hands of Mr. S. Liddell, the Bandmaster of the 2nd Battalion Yorkshire Regiment, and by him was presented to Messrs. Boosey and Co., in June, 1898. It was described by him as an Afridi fiddle, but beyond this I have no clue as to its proper designation or classification, and bring it before you rather with a view to gaining information than because I have any remarks of importance to offer concerning it.
