FS: Bb Cocobolo Cooperman Fife, $95, + sound/photo clips

[ancientfifer]

Offering for sale another fife (to fund a flute purchase). It is a very nice Cooperman Bb in what I think is Cocobolo, but looks a little different from other of that species I have seen. (Any dendrology experts out there id this wood from the photos?) This instrument was made in 2003, has been played very little and oiled regulary about 3 times per year. Elliptical mouth hole, tapered finger holes (6) and brass ferrules. Good tone, tuning (as good as any fife!) and volume most of 3 octaves, low D to B (3rd oct.). I personally noticed a significant increase in overall quality in this fife compared to some others. Great for F&D Corps or concert solo. (Would retail new for around $140.00 at least)

Asking: $95.00 + shipping
