FIFE MOUTHPIECE (CHEATER)

$35.00 SOLD

Quantity Available: None

Item Code: 1202-210

Fifers have been using mouthpieces (also called “fipples” or “cheaters”) on their instruments since the 1800s. Not used extensively today, numerous musical instrument catalogs from the 19th century advertised mouthpieces for the fife as a useful accessory, especially for beginners. Most historic mouthpieces were made from pewter and slid onto the instrument over the blow hole, and were secured with a butterfly head screw.

Offered here is such a piece. Made of pewter and only missing the tightening screw. Fine condition. [jet][ph:L]
