Further googling suggests that the word is chime rather than chine. The chime of a barrel is the ring that holds the top on. Apart from that, I find it interesting that there are several references to its use for mummers and morris. I feel that the collectors used the word just to mean a home-made fiddle type instrument rather than anything similar to a gurdy. Any other mentions that people know of? |
