Thanks Pete; not finding any fifes made by V. Kohlert Sons and only found a three piece piccolo made by them online at a South Dakota Music museum. "It depends on who you talk to" seems logical. Would explain why the item keeps having different names. The ones I see online have huge cracks, pads missing, keys bent, parts gone, not marked by makers and 25 bids first day listed. This item was 0 bids, 0 watchers, 30 seconds left after seven days, seller guaranteed no cracks, great shape and his other items did not look like a music store after a hurricane. Starting a collection for my step grand daughter and was starting to think the further the musical instrument was dragged down a dirt road by the sellers pickup truck the more valuable it becomes.
