Pitch pipe

This is a pitch pipe made from an unidentified stained wood. This pitch pipe has some extremely unusual features; it appears to have been made from some recorder-type instrument which has been re-purposed. The instrument originally had six finger holes, all of which have been filled. The finger holes were extremely close together, much closer than is typical of a recorder. The slide has been made from what appears to be a re-purposed dowel from a piece of furniture, and it has the names of the pitches carved into it. This instrument is known to have been used for many years at a local church.
