This antique Firth & Pond fife, made from cocus wood, retains its maker’s mark, though it’s faint—likely due to prior repair work. The embouchure hole shows some chipping, and it’s sold as is.
Firth & Pond was a 19th-century American maker known for crafting quality fifes and flutes, prized for their craftsmanship. Their flutes, often made from boxwood with brass keys, hold significant historical value today.
