The Ranger-Sunbeam Quiplet
The Ranger-Sunbeam Quiplet was a Quiplet that was made by Emily's great-grandfather, who worked in the captial. He was the one who invented Quiplets, naming the musical intrument after himself. It was one of the first he ever constructed andit is beautifully designed with elaborate carvings. He taught his daughter how to play, who taught Emily when her son was drafted into the war. Emily became very skilled at playing the Quiplet. While her father was at war, she composed a song for him that she would play everyday by the river, hoping that the soft, flowing current would carry her words and song to her father in hopes that he would come home safely. After her husband, Mike, was drafted into the war, she taught her son the song she composed. Ruburd was the same age his mother was when her father was drafted into the war. Like his mother, Ruburd was very skilled when playing the Quiplet. After he was drafted, he gave the Quiplet to Mike to keep so that he would have to come home for it, so he could pass it down to his son or daughter.
