First in date, to a Belgian professor whose name I never
learned but who had the kindness to show a British Army
sergeant around the Institut Fouad Premier de Musique
Arabe (I hope that after nearly 60 years I have remembered
the 1940s name aright) and to give me an introduction
to Dr. Hans Hickmann, who was then living in
Cairo. Then to Eric Halfpenny and Reginald MorleyPegge,
who introduced me to the history of our own instruments
and to the Galpin Society. And then to Dr.
Otto W. Samson of the Horniman Museum in London,
who stirred the enthusiasm of his temporary curator of
musical instruments once again into those of the rest of
the world.
