Rare Civil War Wooden Piccolo, withOrig Pewter CHEATER Blower, 69th NY, Musician

April 7, 2023 admin

Very Rare CIVIL WAR Marked Band Piccolo, 69th New York Infantry, With VERY RARE ORIGINAL PEWTER “CHEATER” BLOWER. Scans show it all….. Very nice black ebony type wooden Civil War piccolo. Similar to typical fife, but shorter and could have been used in the regimental band or on the field like a fife. Has 4 metal keys to help produce a greater variety of notes. This one is also very scarce as it has identification. Used by the 69th New York Infantry, and faintly stamped on the barrel. Typical design, with nice aged patina. This one is unusual AND EXTREMELY RARE IN THAT IT HAS ITS ORIGINAL PEWTER BLOWER AS SHOWN IN MY SCANS. Very rarely seen now and not all that common during the Civil War. Called a “cheater” it was made to fit on a fife or piccolo, and attached/tightened over the hole, to enable playing by a soldier who was not able to play it normally. He could just blow in and the “cheater” directed the air flow across the hole as needed. Has the brass screw to tighten and adjust. The cheater is made of pewter, and has nice gray patina/appearance. Along with fifes, piccolos were popular musical instruments in many regiments, both in their bands and on the field. They were useful to sound the march and along with the drums helped the soldiers keep step. Also provided a martial, military sound and provided entertainment to the troops on the march. The sound was very military, very shrill, and carried well. They needed to fill the ranks with men, and more fifers were needed than were able to play them. So the cheater was invented for practice or for regular use. Very rare to find one still with its original instrument. This one has clearly been on this same fife since the Civil War. A fife, and measures 12 1/8 long. About 5/8 diameter at the ends. Very good condition overall. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS!! This item is in the category “Collectibles\Militaria\Civil War (1861-65)\Original Period Items\Other Civil War Original Items”. The seller is “marvinsmom9″ and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped worldwide.

Rare Civil War MARKED & DATED 1862 US Issue Fife, Piccolo, Musician, GIFT

July 23, 2018 admin

VERY RARE Civil War U. 1862 ISSUE FIFE/PICCOLO, Marked. D ESCRIPTION: Scans show it all….. Black wood Civil War fife, may be ebony. Actually a combination of a fife/piccolo, as it has 4 silver keys. Made of nice smooth ebony. Trimmed with nice German silver hardware, ends, and of course the keys, all with nice patina. Nice appearance overall, and this has the characteristic “swelling” (about 1/8 larger diameter) below the blow hole. Besides the blow hole it has the standard 6 holes for fingering. End has a nice curved wooden plug, to insure that the wind went in the proper direction. Fifes were a popular musical instrument in every regiment and the sound was very military and carried well. A simple fife like this would play 3 octaves of notes!!! This one could have been used as a fife, with the regiment, or as a similar but more sophisticated piccolo in the full regimental band. Stamped faintly just below the blow hole is U. ” and the date “1862. INDICATES THAT IT WAS AN ARMY OWNED AND ISSUED INSTRUMENT, AND POSSIBLY WAS USED BY A REGULAR U. In any event, MARKED FIFES AND INSTRUMENTS ARE FAIRLY UNCOMMON, AND THIS HAS THE ISSUE DATE, 1862, AS WELL, MAKING IT EVEN SCARCER. This is a nice musician item to add to any collection and of course, especially to go with a collection of musical related items. This has been in my collection for many years. End piece also has 4 hand cut “notches” which are neat. Have no idea what they were for, but they obviously meant something to the owner…. One for each year of service?? One for each major battle or campaign? Measures 15 1/2 long. One of the 5 original silver keys is missing, but the other 4 are present and work well. Other than that, the instrument is in excellent condition. This has a great look. Don’t know if it plays, as I don’t know how, but I do not know why it would not. IT CAN BE ADDED TO A DISPLAY OR COLLECTION OR POSSIBLY BE USED IN PARADES OR AROUND THE CAMPFIRE!! You will not find many US or dated fifes today! PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS!!
