Original CROSBY Wooden Civil War Military Company Fife, Musician, Band

Very Rare CIVIL WAR Military Fife, Marked CROSBY. Very nice Civil War fife. Has a great look, with nice long German silver ferrule ends. Nicely marked as made by the famous Crosby maker.

You could play 3 distinct octaves or 24 notes from a 6-hole Civil War fife. They had a great, shrill sound for use for music on the march or in battle, and were popular regimental battle instruments and to play ROUSING PATRIOTIC MARCHES & OTHER MUSIC.

Very good condition overall and still looks great. A GREAT ITEM FOR A CAMP, BATTLEFIELD, OR MUSICAL COLLECTION OR DIORAMA.
