LIST OF LETTERS BETWEEN

DAYTON C MILLER AND

JEAN MIGNOLET

IN THE DAYTON C MILLER COLLECTION

OF THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

A list assembled by Peter H. Adams

INTRODUCTION

The New Langwell Index (p. 263) states that Jean Mignolet lived from 1853 until 1935. From his letters it is evident that he acquired flutes for Mr. Dayton C. Miller. Mignolet was also an inventor of a minor improvement to the Bohm flute key system. As the letters imply, Mignolet was evidently acquainted with major manufacturers, dealers, collectors, and flute makers. Dayton C. Miller was by all accounts the most significant collector of flutes and related instruments. He also tried his hand at making flutes. His collection of instruments, letters, and books, reside within the Library of Congress, Music Division’s Dayton C. Miller Flute Collection.

Miller’s letters begin in 1920 and conclude in 1935. Miller's letters are housed in many boxes. No complete handlist currently exists of this collection. While it was not possible for me to assemble an annotated handlist of the letters, I offer this list of letters between Mignolet and Miller in hopes that it will inspire others to seek out these letters and others in the Dayton C. Miller Collection.
