		The open-ended smallpipe of the 17th and 18th century was in fact a failure.
		If the smallpipes were musically derived from the musette, and their only cultural function had been to play for the upper classes, Peacock's Tunes would be filled with minuets (it has only one, as does Dixon) and songs with basso continuo parts.
