Ingram from Rudall and Rose sold on eBay US

This is only the second or third piccolo I have seen marked Rudall and Rose, even if it was bought in from Ingram (like flutes marked Wylde from Rudall and Rose)
It was in poor condition and sold for around 30 pounds. I forgot to bid and its repairs were beyond my skills. Interesting none the less

As played by McConnell’s Four Leaf Shamrocks

78 RPM recording, October 25, 1924: http://victor.library.ucsb.edu/index.php/talent/detail/13906/McConnells_Four_Leaf_Shamrocks_Musical_group Rereleased on Topic’s Irish Dance Music CD. 

Simplest setting yet? Lots of whole notes, no filigrees. Get a load of this lineup: 2 violins, piano, piccolo, bagpipe, cornet, and traps. Just a wonderful record.
