Our local instrument repair man has an old flute. It is a simple system 10 keyed (I think) with an ivory head joint, lined, with a huge crack. It is imprinted with the name C. Pibcher (NY). Anyone have any info on this maker?
I believe the name should read:
Carl Fischer
He was a prominent music and instrument dealer circa. 1872.
I don’t think he produced his own flutes, only placed his mark upon them.

Sounds German. Small holes and right hand section one piece with footjoint?
Yes, small holes and right hand section one piece with footjoint.
He was an early lamp maker.
