tickles the minikin] “Minikin,” says Nares (Gloss. in v.), "seems sometimes to have meant treble in music."—It certainly also meant a fiddle: “when I was a young man and could tickle the Minikin ... but now ... I am falne from the Fiddle,” &c. “A Fidler, when he hath crackt his Minikin.” Jacke Drums Entertainement, sigs. A 3, E 3, ed. 1616.
