Elizabethan Authority

Tuttle was an authority on Elizabethan Keyboard Music, and edited a volume called "The Tuttle Collection or Forty-five Pieces for Key Board Instruments."

From 1937-41 Tuttle held an instructorship in Music here before going to the University of Virginia.

Tuttle, a graduate of Denison College in Grandville, Ohio, was also an authority on other kinds of music history, and he was responsible for editing and transcribing most of the works of William Byrd, including the Tuttle Collection.

At the time of his death he was editing material for the Musica Britannica.
