Thsi Vintage Higham Wooden Fife is in a good playing order. It is high pitched Bb but it is possible to pull the tuning out to suit modern pitch if needed. There is a repaired crack in tuning section but this has been well done and doesn’t affect playability or the the looks of the instrument.<\/p>\n
Joseph Higham, of all the provincial British firms of brass instrument makers, was the longestlasting and the most productive and innovative, energetically competing with the major London makers \u2013 Distin & Co (later Boosey & Co, and Boosey & Hawkes) and F. Besson (later Besson Co). The firm was established in Manchester by Joseph Higham in 1842 and operated independently until 1923, and then as a subsidiary until 1939.<\/p>\n
