Following the principle of the rackett and the bassoon, the short cylinder of the musette drone contains airways that double back on themselves. Openings in each airway (the equivalent of finger-holes) are uncovered by moving layettes (sliders) fixed in four coulisses (runners). The two lowest notes use the same airway, so cannot be played together. The earliest musettes had up to nine coulisses and twelve layettes, so that you could play music in a range of modes and always have a drone using the home-note of the mode.

WPA programs also supplied clothing, and canneries were used as teaching aids and product generation. Layettes and hospital sundries were made for public institutions and other WPA nursing projects. Maintenance of the barracks, housekeeping and kitchen duties along with instruction in economics and cooking were integral to the residential program, which lasted three to four months and was not subject to re-enrollment.

The Fragment Society purchases the clothes that they give away as donations, with the exception of layettes, which members sew at meetings. They have been known to occasionally give aid in the form of scholarships or fundraising, but only very rarely. Their charitable efforts are mostly focused on the greater Boston area, but in times of national emergency, their aid work has been more widespread. Membership in the Fragment Society is relatively limited, and the organization usually consists of about 200 dues-paying members, many of whom are the descendants of past members.

A Council was formed in 1894 to consist of the supervisors of different Society committees, and a Board of Managers was established in 1902. Merrick believed firmly in lay service in the Church and she founded the Christ Child Society based on that belief.
