Dear Sir:
In the course of a recent visit to London I also enjoyed paying a brief visit to the Musical Gallery in your Museum. Various pieces of this instrument collection are highly interesting.
In this gallery, to which I was kindly given acess by one of your inspectors, I notd a fine specimen of Hardanger fiddle ("Hardanger-fele"), an instrument developed in parts of Southern Norway, ma
inly in the West coast. The label said: " Knudt Eriksen Holland 1872" DANISH
I have a suspition that the name may be misspelt for "Helland" - a well known family of makers - and I certainly would like to suggest that the origin be changed to NORWEGIAN!
I feel sure that you will forgive this little bit of ("patriotic!) comment on my part and I remain, woth best wishes for your Collection,
Yours sincerely
