• 2004567907 abstract "It appears that Miller's philosophy of collecting was simple, practical, and all-inclusive. The collection contains, for example, several Asian, Native American, and other specimens which, although in effect real instruments, appear to have been made for tourist and souvenir sales. Several others seem to be failed attempts at constructing replica instruments during the initial phases of the early music (or period instrument) movement. However, the quality of much of the collection is high and displays examples of pristine craftsmanship involving precious metals, ivory, jade, tortoise shell, and nearly every wood traditionally associated with woodwind instrument construction. Two of the better quality examples are flutes of Miller's own design involving major elements of construction on his part. The collection also includes numerous examples of advanced technical developments from the 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as books about music and flute treatises (cataloged and classified in ML30.4b), music (cataloged and classified in ML30.4c), numerous patents, trade catalogs, and correspondence from wind instrument manufacturers, flutists' portraits, photographs, autographs, and correspondence; news clippings and articles; graphics such as prints, etchings, and lithographs (mostly pictures of flutists and pipers), and over sixty figurines including three bronzes and three finely carved ivory netsukes; plus other music-related ephemera.".

• 2004567907 description "American scientist Dayton C. Miller was born in Strongsville, Ohio, March 13, 1866, and grew up in the small Ohio town of Berea. He worked his way through Baldwin University (later Baldwin-Wallace College). In 1886 he gave a lecture about the sun and also played a flute solo with orchestra. Later he obtained a doctorate in astronomy at Princeton University and in 1890 began an association with the Case School of Applied Science in Cleveland that lasted for over 50 years. In 1908 he introduced the phonodeik, a device that until the invention of electronic oscillators was one of the chief means of converting sound waves into visual images and thus of analyzing all manner of sounds from musical instruments to human speech. Miller's interests in acoustics and music-making were chiefly responsible for his starting, and are reflected in, his collection of flutes and wind instruments. Miller died on Feb. 22, 1941, in Cleveland.".
